Assemblages of care – slow sensibilities for design in museums

This practice-based research explores the relationship between slowness and care in museums, examining the social, material, and spatial dimensions of care in museums through design. Through a series of projects in museum and gallery spaces, the research asks how slowness contributes to social care in the museum and what implications this has for designing museum experiences. By building on the principles of slow design and responding to social issues in museums, the research is significant in its contribution to laying the groundwork for ‘slow museum design’ and the emerging field of ‘care-ful museology’.
