ReStor(y)ing Rurban Patterns
This strand of the project addresses discursive and ideological paradigms that are at the root of socio-ecological challenges like climate change, biodiversity loss, and social injustices. While preventing transformation towards climate justice, these paradigms materialise in present extractivist rural-urban relationships. This research investigates the role of artistic research and practice in generating radically different ways of relating through processes of narrative and material re-storying of the future that reimagine rurban relationships. It pays particular attention to activist, creative, and transformative modes of engagement that provoke debate and reclamation of rurban futures by including marginalised perspectives (i.e., multispecies, intergenerational and intersectional).
