Vortrag von Pernilla Manjula Philip: Tending to the Gaps: Reimagining Medicine Through DIY Approaches and Collective Knowledge-making
Who defines care, and who gets to shape medical knowledge? By interrogating the politics of care, technology, and the structures that govern medical knowledge, this talk explores the function and significance of DIY and open-source approaches to medical management. These unofficial methods, born from necessity, resistance, and innovation, challenge proprietary medical systems by exposing its limitations and rigid definitions of expertise. Examining how disabled and chronically ill people navigate exclusion in the design process, we will look at collective knowledge-making, accessibility, and expanded networks of care as a starting point for discussing practices and spaces that promote inclusive participation in knowledge production and mediation. It raises questions about who controls medical narratives, how safety is defined, and what solidarity can look like beyond biomedical frameworks.
Pernilla Manjula Philip explores questions around chronic illness in relation to the medical industry. Her work, rooted in lived experience, serves as a testbed for exploring vulnerabilities and strengths of the shared resilience of do-it-yourself (DIY) and open-source approaches to medical management. She aims to raise questions about who gets to shape medical knowledge, and the diverse perspectives on safety.
