Spring School 2022

(Re)configuring Territories Spring School 2022
“Speculative Educational Institutions and Cities of the Near Future”
With Linda Boļšakova METASITU (Liva Dudareva and Eduardo Cassina) and Ingrid Svanfeldt
June 13 – 19, 2022

(Re)configuring Territories research programme continued as a week-long Spring School on June 13 – 19, 2022. 

The third year of the research programme explored the politics of collective imagination in the midst of the socio-political and technological upheavals we currently face. How does the changing perceptions of territorial relationships, the experiences of belonging to a place, the multiple spatial layers of history, and their connection to human and non-human agencies? What are the possible roles and structures of educational institutions that could develop the necessary skills and knowledge of political imagination?

The Spring School consisted of three overlapping workshops which together formed a School for Speculative Environmental Education.

At the end of the Spring School week we organized an open event for the locals and everyone interested in the future of multidisciplinary education. In the event workshop groups shared their thoughts and experiences, presented the workshop processes, conclusions, and discoveries reached from the intensive coexistence of participants, organizers, and mentors. We also discussed what oit means to look critically at both the city of Narva and our own professional fields and prejudices.

Seeds, Pollen, Future

Seeds, Pollen, Future
The aim of the Seeds, Pollen, Future workshop is to nurture, form, grow, and become more aware of connections that are already there and those that are newly forged. What are we except for a living relation? And what does this imply for agency and identity?

Modelling Urban Degrowth

Modelling Urban Degrowth
Models and master plans are often used to illustrate growth-driven urban futures, but what would a model for degrowth look like?

Tactics for Freedom of Speech

Tactics for Freedom of Speech
The Tactics for Freedom of Speech workshop looked at freedom of speech and the role of media as an infrastructure forming societies and constructing inter-territorial roles and positions.

Linda Boļšakova
My practice explores the human relationship with the environment and draws parallels between human embodiment and other material embodiments, especially those of plants. It aims to expose these connections and participate in developing a stronger sense of belonging to ecosystems and to the larger community of beings that mutually inhabit our planet.

METASITU

METASITU
METASITU is a collectivity that explores the way we relate to territory across time and disciplines, for a queerer tomorrow. Our practice is centred around non-hierarchical symbiotic pedagogies that take the form of urbanism residencies, architectural interventions, intentional communities, self-publishing, real estate experiments, and videos. Our work has largely focused on shrinking cities in Eastern Ukraine: mainly through our ongoing project ‘The Degrowth Institute’, where we explore ways of incorporating notions of degrowth to urban masterplanning. The Degrowth Institute also researched vacancy, and ruinification processes in Dubai’s office towers, among others.
