| Summary: | This paper journeys through skin and touch as a form of storytelling and ritualistic bodily expression. It investigates how these elements and actions with the body can support humans in forging deeper connections and function as a catalyst for care. This work builds on theories of slow design, ritual design and Body-Mind Centering. It studies embodied research within design and shares insights gained through experiential and explorative practices. Further it looks at the human nature bond within female bodies as a a way to strengthen women and dismantle patriarchal structures. To conclude it explores how a booklet can be a medium for guiding women into their own bodies and invoking care with the self, other humans and more than human others. |
