In May, the Plasticity team organized the Shapeshifters Symposium, a transdisciplinary two-day event that explored the concept of plasticity across academic domains and beyond. Researchers, societal stakeholders, and artists came together to question what it means to be a shape within a shapeshifting society, a form within a form – adapting, evolving, and mutating, along with its environment. The panel sessions from day one are now available on YouTube channel. See below:
