Teaching 

Kabai started teaching and giving workshops from 2017. He believes that education is an act of liberation that can lead to systemic change. Kabai has developed a module called Designing our ways out of design, to investigate the potential of a post-anthropocentric design paradigm. The module runs through two-semester. The first semester concentrated on the student’s critical cartographies of the Anthropocene. The second semester focused on the class as a collective, where they join forces to act together as a team, finding a common goal, despite the differences. Kabai taught and lectured in art schools, including Royal Academy of Arts, The Hague, NL or École supérieure d’art et de design des Pyrénées, Pau, FR
