Last week, the “Perturbant Fluids” workshop was presented at #STSCH2025 @ethzurich during “Design crossing sciences for health“ experimental panel curated by @aylintschoepe from @hgkbasel_research_icdp

As part of the MAKEAWARE! initiative, the contribution supports the research on entangled relations between human and microbial health within the global antimicrobial resistance (AMR) crisis. AMR demands practices of care that move beyond top-down healthcare models. In response, the research project adopts participatory, feminist, and practice-led design approaches to reframe health as a situated common good, emphasizing distributed responsibilities among human and more-than-human actors.

Zoe Romano @zoescope_ from @_obot_ introduced the cyanotype outputs of crystallised tears sampled during one of the workshops held in the past years. These artistic objects became one of the starting point for the discussion in a dialogue with the objects brought by the other panel’s participants, whom we would like to thank for taking part!

@zoescope_ and @serena_cangi from @obot collective, in collaboration with @aylintschoepe @metalabharvard, concluded their residency titled “Re-wiring the post-reproductive sensorium” part of an ongoing practice-based research on the transformative co-creation of new knowledge on women's embodied experiences in their non-reproductive phase of life.

During the 2-week period, the collective proposed a workshop on emotion networking during which participants were invited to express unfiltered thoughts and sensations around menopause and reposition these ones within a matrix of sense responding to a space where the voices and experiences became a site of relational intelligence and collective infrastructure.

Following the workshop, they invited Valeria Graziano, co-author of Pirate Care, and Prof. Dr. Aylin Tschoepe for public-private conversations via chatcast—an experimental online tool prototyped specifically for the residency – to unfold a private dialogue into a public stage.

With the goal of defining the framework for future research, the residency continued with needle felting sessions for brainstorming and prototyping future tangible interfaces and engagement installations for larger audiences.

"Rewiring" is employed as a concept to reconnect perception with a collective, generative process that thrives beyond dominant narratives, creating space to re-contextualise the invisible labor that sustain communities, creating space for disobedient listening and collective wisdom expression.

Last Sunday, we were hosted by @hek_basel, to run “Perturbant Fluids” workshop and explore the invisible made visible of our bodies using a microscope.

The video shows a time-lapse of the crystallisation of a participant's tear. 💦 As the narrative of the early microscopic explorations is like the discourse of a traveler reporting on what others have not seen, we embarked in a collective ride to train our ability to see, interpret and share.

This workshop was possible thanks to an ongoing collaboration with @makeawareamr
