Community workshop, 10 February 2026. Part of Research seminars at Umeå Institute of Design. 

Ephemeral and invisible, smell chemicals are exchanged at all scales, from the molecular to the atmospheric, flowing between microbes, fungi, plants, animals, soil, water and air. Odorants move through and between bodies and species, integral to multi-species place-making, foraging, sex and safety. However, olfactory orientations are increasingly redolent with the pungent stench of colonial and capitalist over-consumption, extraction and terra-firming.

Join me to explore the effects of environmental change on more-than-human smell experiences and play seriously with creative ways to make-with non-humans to support flourishing smell futures.

Bring some of your favourite making tools and materials.
