PADLab:
Post Anthropocentric
Design Lab
The design laboratory for the post Anthropocene in Shenkar enables individuals and groups to internalize nature’s perspective, imagine new possibilities for nature during and after the climate crisis, decode the meanings of these possibilities and communicate them to the public, educators, experts, and decision-makers.

By 2052, the flathead grey mullets had gotten used to the ideal living conditions in the fish farms of Ma’agan Michael — humans fed the fish, ensured they had sufficient oxygen and that the salinity of the water was just right. When the humans abandoned the pools, the fish spilled out into the sea and were forced to survive on their own in the wild for the first time.
As temperatures rose, the freshwater and saltwater in the area got warmer, and the salinity of the stream increased considerably. The new conditions caused the grey mullets to become smaller.
The rainy season grew shorter, but the rains were much heavier. The resulting floods brought strong currents which, helped by the stormy sea, broke open the aquaculture tanks. The story of the grey mullets starts when they leave the safe and familiar pools and swim out into the rapidly changing wilderness.
