As 2025 draws to a close, the Ecological Design Collective (EDC) reflects on a year of change and making. Through workshops, conversations, and creative experiments across both themes, we explored how design, art, and ecological thinking can reshape our environments!

Join us on Dec. 17th to celebrate!

With this talk, Prof Kirksey will talk about projects that are already tacitly working with principles of decentered multispecies design, also describing new projects that are designing future infrastructures containing niches for vulnerable life forms. Register with the QR Code!

Join us for a conversation between the Station North Tool Library in Baltimore and the Restarters BCN Collective in Barcelona, Spain to share learnings and to imagine how to continue being an antidote to the toxicity of consumerism!
