Matter Matters reflects on the current environmental and social crises through the lens of materiality, positioning matter as the focal point to address the political ecology of objects in a society striving for carbon neutrality by 2050.

The publication is based on the homonymous exhibition at the Museo del Disseny-Dhub, featuring over 500 pieces, including more than a hundred contemporary designs in dialogue with the museum's historical collection.Matter Matters is structured into eight chapters according to materials: Petrochemical, Plant-based, Animal, Microbiological, Mineral, Digital, Intangible, and Affection-Fiction. Each chapter includes articles by international and local authors, as well as micro-narratives that visually showcase the pieces from the exhibition in various juxtapositions.
