Workshop M/other futures at Kultivator, part of the project m/other becomings, a collaboration between Laboratory for Aesthetics and Ecology (DK), The Association for Arts and Mental Health (DK), Kultivator (SE), Art Lab Gnesta (SE) and Bioart Society (FI). http://www.labae.org/past#/mother-becomings
In this workshop, the invited artists Signe Johannessen, SE/NO, Karin Bolender, US, Riina Hannula, FI, the Rhizomatic squad for radical care, FR, and their families, has worked (and lived) around questions about how kinship and family constellations can be cultivated beyond gender and anthropocentric policies, and extended into the more-than-human. With the kind and patient participation of numerous more-than-human bodies, we have been able to try the possibilities of challenging and broadening the concept of family/household and take a closer look at the interplay between ecology and home (the word ecology comes from the Greek “Oikos”, which means home) The outcome of the workshop was shared with the audience in an open day, and will be further developed for an exhibition in Artlab Gnesta in November.
