THYR BJÖRNSONHUMAN
An impossible name to pronounce in the sprawling English language. But not as impossible as the meta-crisis our species is facing, so why complain? I am a designer / writer / director / human / facilitator interested in what makes us shift perspectives / worldviews / emotionally / futures. Driven by ideas and questions of impact rather than specialised technique, my work spans from humours satire to dense poetry, from immersive experiences to traditional printmaking. Themes of worry / care / critique / discovery trickles between documentation and films, nestling tight to my heart and history.
Attempting to be understood, this website seek to serve as a platform to connect with you, dear viewer / guest? / friend? / collaborator? through a selection of things I have done.
My hope is that you feel surprised, happy, intrigued, and/or down to connect.

VOICES ABOUT ME
SOCRATIC DIALOUGES
WHEN: 2020-Ongoing
WHAT: A structured conversation
WHY: We need to communicate in new ways
A socratic dialogue is a heavily moderated conversation around a philosophical question in which the participants develop their ability to listen to others and build a collective intelligence. By slowly unfolding what is being said by others through repetition and reflection the group develops a deeper understanding of the subject and releases their individual sense of self for a greater interconnectedness.
The method is developed by the Socratic Design Academy and in 2020 I initiated that myself and the other nine members of Studio Souvenir underwent their moderator training, which became absolutely reformative for the group and our internal dynamics.
I have since then continued to explore the role of moderator in several different contexts and groups, online and offline, continuously building my practice and skills.
