presenting Giulia Tomasello's Future Flora - STARTS Grand Prize for Artistic Exploration !
Future Flora aims to encourage the symbiotic relationship between microbes and bacteria in the human body, suggesting to wear probiotics to keep our body healthy. The project is a harvesting kit designed for women to treat and prevent vaginal infections. The user is a woman who wants to embrace biotechnology in her house, allowing science to show alternatives to traditional medicines and probiotics.
Following DIY procedures and merging biology with health-tech, Future Flora addresses women who are taking control of their own bodies as a precious and intimate practice of self-care, becoming a participant in the culture and the knowledge of science.
