Meet the Participants | Part 2/2 🌿

Designers, artists, researchers, scenographers, architects, mycologists, and storytellers converge at the Delhi Lab, bringing practices shaped by ecology, material experimentation, spatial thinking, and more-than-human collaboration.

This cohort explores everything from mycelium-based materials and biomaterial research to exhibition design, digital fabrication, ecological inquiry, and participatory modes of making. Together, they expand what design can be when it works with living systems, local knowledge, and collective imagination.

What does it mean to grow with the unknown?

🌿At the Delhi Lab ('Mycelium. Growing with the Unknown') for 'Elemental Imprints: Bio Design Lab South Asia', our mentors hold space for curiosity, experimentation, and exchange, helping participants navigate the fertile intersections of ecology, materiality, design, and imagination.

✨ Julia Ihls, an interdisciplinary designer and researcher based in Karlsruhe, Germany, heads the Bio Design Lab at the Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design. Her work explores the intersections of biology, design, and emerging material practices.

✨ Bhakti Loonawat and Suyash Sawant, co-founders of Anomalia, an experimental architecture and design practice based in Mumbai, bring their engagement with material research, ecological thinking, and speculative futures to the lab.

How do we trace histories of digital and media art in a highly mediated world?⁠
Loading: Past. Present. In Progress - A Festival of Digital and Media Art invites us to explore the often-overlooked journeys of digital and media art in India, a highly experimental and collaborative field that has grown in workshops, temporary spaces, artist studios, apartments, and online networks, beyond the walls of museums and galleries.⁠

📅 10–19 September 2026⁠
📍 Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan New Delhi⁠

Through a symposium, performances, interactive timeline, showcase, and workshops, artists, cultural theorists, and researchers come together to reflect on how digital and media art has shaped contemporary culture while existing at its experimental edges.⁠

🔔 Registrations open soon.⁠
🤝 A collaboration with Asia Art Archive in India.⁠
✨ With support from the Sher-Gil Sundaram Arts Foundation.⁠
