Listening to the Landscape: Repairing the Ruptures through Situated Materials and Sensibilities
Join us on Thursday 7 May, 10am–12pm (UK) / 6–8pm (Japan), for Repairing the Ruptures, a public online event and collaborative initiative between Kyoto-based PERSPECTIVE and MA Material Futures and MA Regenerative Design at Central Saint Martins (UAL).
This gathering brings together an international community of design and research to share practices, research, and reflections on what it means to listen to the landscape.
Repairing the Ruptures explores acts of mending and proposing, advancing and regenerating, cultivating attentiveness, ritual, and the weaving of interconnected systems. Inspired by practices of ‘worlding’ (Haraway) we aim to open speculative and situated ways of making-with, generating new possibilities for collective futures in which place and species can thrive. Creating responses that share new ways of listening, tracing, and activating: unpacking living systems and their invisible, subtle languages; repairing social and cultural practices that activate landscapes of care through community relationships.
We are pleased to be joined by Professor Atsuro Morita and Theun Karelse, who contributed to the collaborative project. Together, we will explore what it means to learn from, and practice with, more-than-human systems.
The event will feature contributions from our research participants, who will share their entry points, alongside graduates establishing their practices and collaborators offering their perspectives. This includes Sachiko Takamuro from Perspective, who will reflect on listening, ghosts, and monsters, inviting us to consider how we are shaped by, and entangled within, our relationships.
