LAND

Als onderdeel van het project LAND publiceerden we in het najaar van 2020 meerdere artikelen over klimaatafbraak, eigendom, territorium en kolonialisme en hoe deze zaken met elkaar samenhangen. Veel van deze artikelen werden in samenwerking met Mister Motley geschreven.

Op 16 december 2020 bracht Lieneke Hulshof, hoofdredacteur van online kunsttijdschrift Mister Motley, de vier auteurs Fiep van Bodegom, Lietje Bauwens, Jasper Griepink en Chihiro Geuzebroek samen in een online lunch event om de inzichten uit de artikelen met elkaar in verband te brengen.

In this series of film interviews, as part of the LAND project, guest-curator Irene Constandse talks for us with various artists, thinkers and makers.

If we wish to develop a more sustainable future, we urgently need to reconnect to our environment and restore a more reciprocal relationship with the earth. In the Radio ArtEZ podcast series Sounding Places / Listening Places writer and music journalist Joep Christenhusz and creator of sound works, writer and Deep Listener Sharon Stewart enquire how sound and listening can help us to do so.

In contemporary Western culture we seem to have lost an intimate connection with the land. More often than not we consider our surroundings as a passive backdrop in which humankind can take center stage: controlling the landscape, developing infrastructures, and extracting resources at will. This rather anthropocentric position has become unviable, however, as recent human-driven ecological crises – like climate change, the dramatic loss of biodiversity and large-scale destruction of habitats – are clearly indicating. If we wish to develop a more sustainable future, we urgently need to reconnect to our environment and restore a more reciprocal relationship with the earth.
