Plastic imaginaries: becoming response-able stakeholders?

Abstract

This piece in the interactive exhibition shows a prototype of a domestic plastic composting kit. More specifically it's a repurposed glass jar with a lid that has been cut open and replaced by a metal net. Inside it common mealworms are biodegrading styrofoam. A democratic design experiment, where similar prototypes were distributed to explore how it is to live with it, will be present in this exhibition through photos. A 30-minute workshop builds on this democratic design experiment and explores the becoming of stakeholders when the actors and issues are multiple and uncertain.
