ACADIA 2026 Workshops: HUMANISM RECODED Online & In-Person • Monday–Wednesday, October 19–21, 2026 (Detroit) As part of the ACADIA 2026 conference "Humanism Recoded: Reframing Computation and Making through Embodiment and Culture," we're offering a curated series of hands-on workshops led by expert instructors from around the world. Workshops foreground human-centered computational design, embodied and culturally situated making, and emerging AI, robotics and fabrication workflows across theory and practice.
