Exploring boundaries by piercing barriers

The 2022 conference Radical Futures addresses the role of design in shaping the future. Tasmeem Doha 2022: Radical Futures is an inclusive and multi-faceted view of the future, one that not only speculates on technological advancements—but on future threats and changes whether environmental, geographical, cultural, or social. Now more than ever, we must ask pertinent questions, raise critical dialogues, and respond with clarity.

Jalila will talk about how art can probe the duality of safety and the applications of new forms of biotechnology.Chapter 2 discusses project ‘mestic’, creating plastics, textiles, and paper from cow manure. Continuing from the genetically modified goats of the bulletproof skin project and diving into the global problem of excess manure from intensive animal farming the artist will explain how a disgusting problem can hold the solution to two of the world’s most polluting industries: intensive farming and the textile industry.And Chapter 3 is about the national development institute for the biological arts: BioArt Laboratories. Countless requests from artists, designers, and people in general (about best practices when working at the crossover of multiple domains) drove Jalila Essaidi to initiate the BioArt Laboratories foundation. A development institute that explores the possibility of combining culture, entrepreneurship, and nature together in a symbiotic relationship. Using project Tree-Antenna as a specific example.This event is an in-person event for the VCUarts Qatar community only that will be streamed live. Members of the public are welcome to ask questions in a moderated chat, at the end of each session.
