The event was a collaboration with the Fab Lab, IAAC, and Elisava. The speakers included; Tomas Diaz, director of the Fab Lab, Marc from FOS, Paolo, one of the founders of Casa TAOS, Jasmine Boerner and David Wyss from the IAAC and Elisava Master in Design for Emergent Futures, and Inês Barroso and Cata Barroso, owners of 8pm- a sustainable fashion concept store, here in Barcelona.

Casa TAOS is built on the principle of collaborative actions and strengthened through community. Hosting a conversation between people who are actively taking steps towards change was an opportunity to take action based on this philosophy. A lot of our communication takes place digitally but this in no way undermines the power of direct conversation that is facilitated by a physical space. A face-to-face conversation promotes deep listening which is crucial for understanding and change to take place. It was incredible to watch the space fill up with people ready to listen, and share their own learnings.

More than action for the sake of action it is about creating conditions for things to happen. This is in many ways the function of Casa TAOS, to serve as a space for change to occur. We were honored to host this conversation and look forward to the sharing of future ideas and holding this space.
