Emi BioLab (Carola Emanuela Godja) is a designer and biomaterials practitioner exploring algae-based materials through hands-on experimentation. Her work focuses on alginate as a responsive matter shaped by water, salts, time, and gestures of care. Rooted in Venice and its lagoon ecology, her research informs the workshops she leads—guided spaces to test, understand, and design with algae-based biomaterials through a process-led approach.
