Multisensory design for somatic care

This project explores somatic well-being through multi-sensorial bodily engagements, focusing on individuals who experience chronic gut diseases (CGD). Adopting participatory approaches, it works with people with CGD experiences, exploring health stigma and how community building and more-than-human material entanglements can help to overcome the stigma experiences.
