“Empathy Revisited” – Episode #9: TiriLab

This episode features the talk held between the Istanbul Design Biennial director Deniz Ova and Christina Serifi and Juan Chacón, the founders of TiriLab, an initiative that explores cultural heritage and rural communities. The conversation primarily stresses the duo’s research project titled Sattelite Kitchens they have participated the 5th Istanbul Design Biennial with. The project evolves around the outdoor kitchens, constructed and organised mostly by women in the Thesprotia region in Greece and which are used as a space of assembly, resistance, empowerment and care.
