Franca López Barbera an Argentinian designer and researcher based in Berlin. Her work explores the connections between nature, coloniality, gender, and ethics with a special interest in consent. In her research, she draws from spatial-material practices, local stories, feminist posthumanities, and decolonial theory to examine the power dynamics that exist in more-than-human relationships.


Consent as a more-than-human emergence: consent does not reside exclusively in humans, neither in nonhumans, it emerges from the interaction between humans and nonhumans.
