We would like to invite interested participants to the Studio (workshop) we
will organize at the *TEI'18 Conference*, which will take place in
Stockholm, Sweden between *18-21 March 2018*.


*Call for Participation*

Novel materials and innovative applications can sometimes outweigh a
reflective perspective on the roles that objects and materials can play in
social life. In this Studio, we want to bring together researchers and
practitioners who are interested in exploring design outcomes from a
sociomaterial perspective. By having prototypes at the center of the Studio
activities, we intend to create prompted speculative fictions that link the
material outcomes of design practice to social agency and cultural effects.

This Studio will offer an opportunity to examine how objects might
participate in social spheres as well as act as material bridges to their
design process. We will do this through both hands-on examination of design
objects, and inquiry into the infrastructuring and appropriation of these
artifacts. The themes that will be examined are agency, material
participation, and cultural performance of things. We encourage
participants to bring their own prototypes.

We invite scholars and design practitioners from a variety of fields to
register for the Studio through the TEI 2018 website:
