The Museum of Vibrant Matter, curated by Alastair Fuad-Luke, asks us to pay attention and attune to our local biological, technical, and hybrid materialities as an act of care towards ourselves, other living things, our soils, water, and geology. Encourages us to adopt radical, yet humble, attitudes beyond anthropo-supremacy so we can collectively design preferable material futures that regenerate us, our communities, and our terrestrial/ aquatic/ marine habitats.

The exhibition draws on cultural memories and new material experiments to re-activate our sensorial knowledge and other knowledge about our local materials. Material memories and new experiments will be exhibited, demonstrating material practices and co-constructing a living Archive of Vibrant Matter with designers, local experts, and citizens.

This event comprises three workshops, that will explore different material environments in the local territory, collect/gather matter or material samples, experiment with making materials and artifacts, and enter new records into the Archive of Vibrant Matter.
