About FemTech Utopias
In this interactive workshop, combine design thinking with speculative fiction to consider the growing world of ‘FemTech’. Join University of Edinburgh medical anthropologist Andrea Ford, whose research on menstrual health and culture will shape the event. Participants will produce multimedia storyboards that forecast futures and gain a keen sense of how technologies can be simultaneously good and bad, while learning about the growing interest in menstrual health and its potential implications.
People who menstruate, those interested in or skeptical about the digitisation of health, fans of speculative fiction, and those interested in design as a form of storytelling will be especially suited for this event!
This event is part of the Centre for Biomedicine, Self and Society's Being Human Festival programme of events: Bodies. Stories. Health.
Location: Grassmarket Community Project & Coffee Saints Cafe
