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.

Part of the Canidae family, lives in natural areas near residential areas.

The jackal, part of the Canidae family, lives in natural areas near residential areas — much like Yarkon Park — in dens and crevices, as well as in open fields. While monogamous and territorial, jackals often live in small packs. The jackal has a keen sense of smell, which it uses to map its environment and analyze what is happening in it. This ability helps it thrive and survive as part of a pack in an urban environment.

The jackal is an omnivore and feeds on carrion, rodents and human food leftovers. With its increasing dependence on human society, the jackal is no longer the hunter and predator it once was. It has moved away from nature and closer to the city. Nowadays, jackals are often seen confidently and freely roaming in close proximity to humans and other animals, and even in residential neighborhoods, where they search for leftovers.

With rising sea level and upcoming floods, Yarkon Park will change considerably. What remains of the park will be covered by massive puddles, and humans will move away from the area. To survive, the jackal will further enhance its scent-mapping ability.
