Notes On Intimacy -
Biodesign Challenge
Panel Discussion
2024
"BDC x NEW INC: Notes On Intimacy" panel discussion at the 2024 Biodesign Challenge Summit, alongside Tao Leigh Goffe, Michelle Shofet, and Elaine Young, which took place at Parsons School of Design - The New School and The Museum of Modern Art.
Our conversation centered around the radical potential of intimacy as a form of collectivity that extends beyond human connections to include non-human beings. We explored how this kind of intimacy can challenge and destabilize oppressive social beliefs, opening new pathways for understanding relationships and ecological interdependence.
A significant part of our discussion was dedicated to the role of language in shaping cultural paradigms. We examined how different languages offer unique ways to articulate the human experience and provide diverse answers to fundamental questions about life.
