Indeterminacies: arts and landscapes - final details

By

Two sessions: Wednesday 1st and Wednesday 8th December, each running 10am-12.30pm

This online event brings together the Creative Landscape Futures research network (https://creativelandscapefutures.blogspot.com/ ) with the NewLEAF Future of UK Treescapes project (https://www.uktreescapes.org/announcement-of-the-first-set-of-future-of-uk-treescapes-projects/ ). There is a shared interest in indeterminacy and the ways that it is engaged with across natural & social science, arts and humanities research in and for landscape decision-making. The event will not be a conference but rather a shared multi-disciplinary thinking space to enable ideas and research to develop with a particular focus in bringing the arts into discourse with the natural and social sciences on this important topic.

Indeterminacy (or uncertainty) is understood to be increasingly significant factor in the context of the accelerating climate and biodiversity changes/crises. Mitigation, resilience and adaptation are key challenges and understood to be critical to addressing indeterminacy. We wish to explore the values, meanings and ways of working with indeterminacy and uncertainty that a range of disciplines can bring or offer to discussions about landscape decision-making. Where landscapes are often planned and managed to create very specific results in, for example, economic production, biodiversity or visual qualities, art practice often instigates processes with flexible and sometimes unclear boundaries and outcomes that may be ambiguous or open to widely differing interpretation. Is it possible to integrate learning from what seem to be very different epistemological positions? 

Wednesday 1 December: 

Contributions from: Stephen Cavers, Tim Collins and Reiko Goto Collins, Joan Cottrell, David Edwards, Aaron Ellison, Glenn Marion, Sietske Veenman / Seth Oliver.

Introducing the CLF blog...

This blog is for news, information and chat about the AHRC research network 'Creative landscape futures: making decisions with the arts and humanties'. Principal Investigator: Jo Vergunst , University of Aberdeen Co-Investigator: Anne Bevan , Orkney College, University of the Highlands and Islands The network runs from February 2020 to February 2022. From our original proposal, here's the summary of what the network will do. This research network will bring together academics and a range of stakeholders to explore the ways that arts and humanities research can contribute to decision-making about landscapes. Our focus is Scotland, which has its own legal setting and distinctive forms of land ownership - and distinctive landscapes - and we will also make connections with the rest of the UK and beyond. We will hold a series of seminars to share insights, with some hosted by our non-academic stakeholder participants, and carry out further field visits to meet with

  Fences, dust and wind: Kite Aerial Photography at the edgelands of Aberdeen Harbour Expansion   An event associated with the AHRC network Creative Landscape Futures: Making Decisions with the Arts and Humanities.   Led by Jvan Yazdani, PhD in Anthropology from Sapienza University of Rome.   This workshop will take its participants to the ‘edgelands’ of Aberdeen Harbour Expansion Project , to observe – through camera-mounted kites – how construction manifests itself beyond its established boundaries: from fencing to road works to dust, stockpiled materials and construction units, but also elements of Corporate ‘Social and Environmental Responsibility’ such as landscaping, community investment funding, mitigation and compensation plans, along with machinery noise, lines on grass and in soil.   Kites offer playful ways of engaging with the landscape and doing research: they literally uplift you. Sailing the kite becomes one with walking, or wayfaring, a
