n the second episode of the Designlab Brew podcast our hosts Carithea Richards and Gemma Ciabattoni dive in the fascinating speculative design work of Lisa Mandemaker. Lisa studied at the Royal College of Art in London, and was nominated in BBC's list of 100 inspiring and influential women from around the world for 2019.

Her recent work has explored motherhood and artificial wombs, creating immersive experiences that allow the public to imagine a future where children are borne out of machines. Her most recent exhibition, “monuments for m/otherhood” was one of the installations that the University of Twente brought to Dutch Design Week 2022.
