Lauren McCarthy’s exchange will focus on social inclusion by reimagining homes of the future while creating inclusive spaces for open conversations. Her workshops will incorporate technology in the form of machine learning, projection, camera inputs, and p5.js software, with the aim that participants will produce interactive spaces that spark dialogue around the topics of social inclusion and belonging.
