Installation + Workshop: More-Than-Human-Architecture
More-Than-Human-Architecture is a series of experimental ceramic sculptures designed as ‘offerings’ for the more-than-human companions we share our common spaces with. The artworks have been created for community-led growing spaces across the London Borough of Barnet on the occasion of the London Festival of Architecture 2023 in response to the theme “In Common”.

For the fourth session of B|TW|N THE L|AV|S: A Critical De/Compost Reading Group, we turn to Anna Tsing’s essay on ‘The Forest of Collaborations,’ which centres on the model of community-managed forests in Indonesia. Tsing offers us “friction” as a tool to assess the sticky complexities of “community-based” collaboration; different agendas across common projects; “productive confusion” and “awkward coalescence”.

How is the concept of the 'artist residency' shifting in response to these "current times"?

Installation: Dia(log)ues with Dead Wood @ Stanmore Country Park
What can dead wood teach us about “waste”? How does it challenge what we think of as “dead” and “alive”? What could it teach us about living in relationship with each other?
