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.

Shenkar - Engineering. Design. Art.
A species of bramble, of the raspberry genus (Rubus) and the rose family (Rosaceae).
As a result of the climate crisis, the holy bramble has had to adapt to the high salinity of the soil. The salt-sensitive plant absorbed salt through its roots and has found a way to process it. The bramble produces an aggregate fruit made up of many individual carpels. In the newly adapted species, these carpels have turned into bubbles of salt. As a result, the fruit of the holy bramble is no longer sweet — it is now salty.
This new property makes it difficult for the raspberries to stay intact. In stormy weather, they fall apart, the carpels falling to the ground, gradually forming a salty layer that changes the color and composition of the soil around the bramble.
