For this week’s class with Oscar Tomico, I have learnt a lot. During class, I took the opportunity to enter some kind of Maïeutics game where I could speculate freely on what my garment project is and what it could become. I might keep what I have learnt for bigger scale projects than my Fab Academy Project though. The ideas I had, and over all, the advices Oscar had to offer really could apply to bigger scale projects where I can make a difference. This has been an empowering session.

As an output of this conversation, I analysed what we said and made a synthesis of it. Below, you can see a list of questions and interrogations we discussed.
