Taking care together: a festival to reclaim our health
The pilot of the four-step method, with a synthesis published in ten languages.
Context
After EUvsVirus, I wanted to test the method from my thesis on a subject that concerns everyone: our health and the rules that govern it.
Intervention
I founded and designed the festival: an invitation to explore how we can reclaim our health and define together the rules that affect us, from open-source medical devices to the creative expression of our sensations.
Observed effects
- A nine-day festival, prepared in 122 days with 115 co-hosts

- The pilot of the four-step method
- A synthesis published in ten languages: “Preserving our health: a common heritage” (2023)
