Join us Tuesday, November 17 at 5:30 PM for a talk with Dawn Danby & David McConville, co-founders of Spherical, an integrative research & design studio working to regenerate the health & integrity of Earth's living systems. Through design, research, & technology, Spherical explores how human systems are embedded within larger ecological, cultural, & planetary webs of relation, & how new forms of infrastructure might support reciprocal relationships with the living Earth.
In this talk, Dawn & David will examine how climate action is often made politically viable through the language of infrastructure, & why that framing is both necessary & incomplete. Rather than treating infrastructure as a purely technical system, they will argue for a broader understanding that includes the nested scales, living relations, & more-than-human worlds that sustain life. Drawing on their work across ecological design, planetary systems, & media arts, they will explore how climate solutions demand new ways of seeing, mapping, & designing in relation to the Earth. Attendees will be invited to rethink infrastructure not simply as built form, but as a living scaffold for reciprocal care, repair, & transformation.
This talk is open to the public & is for designers, researchers, students, & anyone interested in climate, systems thinking, & the role of design in shaping more livable futures.
