Through this lens, Mio’s work aims to broaden the values and experiences centred within these spaces, fostering more just spaces to meet and learn. Mio’s research and teaching practice often work with propositions, scripts, prompts, scores, and other formats that aim to critically discuss practices and expand hegemonic ways of doing. In recent years, Mio has given lectures and workshops on design politics, publishing, and feminist educational practices. https://futuress.org/
