For our latest Instagram Live Talk, curator Viviane Stappmanns had the pleasure to welcome Helsinki-based designer and researcher Julia Lohmann. For almost a decade, Julia has been exploring the material qualities of algae with her »Department of Seaweed«, demanding a rethinking of traditional design approaches and proposing new forms of collaboration when it comes to environmental issues. During the talk, they discussed what design can offer science and why algae is a great material to start with.
