Amid the Air and Earth
AMID THE AIR AND EARTH is a platform by a place of their own to host our ongoing collaborative critical investigations into the geopolitical and colonial contexts of historical, precarious, and speculative ecologies. The platform reflects the transdisciplinary research and artistic + spatial propositions that have emerged from a series of collaborations with artists, researchers, groups and organisations in the UK, Ireland, and Australia, working between art, architecture, science and environmental justice.
The activities of AMID THE AIR AND EARTH experiment with creating new apparatuses that mobilise around :
Sites/Landscapes:
Situated, site specific projects; hyper-local investigations.
Histories:
Counter-histories, ‘potential histories’; situating contemporary practices.
Narratives:
Revealing and generating stories, myth, fiction; site as co-existing stories.
Knowledges:
Trans-disciplinary, local, scientific, cultural, aural, intergenerational.
