Talk 'Birth Better'

Women and Design talk

Hosted by Charis Stephanie

This project is now archived and was part of DDW23

Childbirth is one of the most fundamental processes that exist. However, because neither doctors nor parents want to lose a baby, childbirth is also a process that is often governed by protocols and interventions. What design solutions are possible to empower both women and doctors to work alongside

Who?

Charis Stephanie presents the segment 'Woman and Design Talks.' In this, social researcher Françoise Molenaar - who has written several articles on this theme for De Correspondent - engages in conversations with doctors, designers, and system changers about how the female medical experience could be improved and what design solutions might be possible. Supported by Zoë Sluisdom, a member of the social design agency Afdeling Buitengewone Zaken, they create three interactive sessions in which the audience's experience is also of value.

Where?

The talks are in Dutch and take place at the Steentjeskerk, Sint Antoniusstraat 5, Eindhoven, and admission is free! Want to reserve a spot? Please email: [email protected]
