FUTURE FLORA: CELEBRATING FEMALE BIOPHILIA

Two women, a designer and a scientist, will talk about health and women, focusing on the connections between art and design, and innovation, science and technology. They will do so based on the Future Flora project (winner of the European Commission’s STARTS grand prize) which aims to encourage the beneficial presence of microbes and bacteria in the human body with techniques to microencapsulate specific bacteria in certain textile fabrics in order to turn clothing and other accessories into suitable ecosystems for cutaneous flora.
