The seminar of the VULCA Chair (led by ENSAD-PSL, ENS, and the Institut Imagine) will explore the links between capabilities and experiential knowledge in the context of genetic diseases, at the intersection of medicine, the humanities, and design. Over five days, researchers, designers, physicians, and doctoral students will work collectively on the concrete conditions that make sustainable forms of life possible, notably by examining patient knowledge and the contributions of research through creative practice. Organized at the Fondation Martell, this seminar will combine plenary sessions, project presentations, and collaborative writing workshops in order to bring forth new interdisciplinary research perspectives.
