Warming up the Pluriverse #1: On becoming networks

In this talk we meet Joke Robaard, independent thinker and maker. Active since the 80s in the world of design. Deeply involved in art and education. Developed a broad framework to reflect on design, materiality, weaving. Recently co-authored the book Archive Species with Camiel van Winkel on her ever-growing collection of (fashion) images. In short: always traced her own course.

Does the idea of the Pluriverse as enunciated by Escobar in his 2018 book resonate with your practice, we asked.
