Renata Souza on designing an insulin kit specifically for children with diabetes
Embrace the Unknown/Recorded 2018
A close reading, kept within reach.
Renata Souza takes design activism as a lens on the larger question the festival keeps returning to: what design owes to the people and places it works among. The talk moves from specific projects toward a broader argument about practice.
Recorded in Mexico in 2018, the conversation is grounded in Renata's own working method — the compromises, the constraints, and the moments where the work taught them something they didn't expect.
The closing turn is characteristic of the archive: less a conclusion than a provocation, handed to the audience to carry into their own disciplines.
"Children with type 1 diabetes are insulin-dependent. The administration of it is crucial to their survival."
