Two good newses.
Firstly, I’ve been invited to participate in Berlin’s Zentrum fur Kunst und Urbanistik (Centre for Art and Urbanistics)’s residency program for four months to conduct a hybrid research / participatory community art project called Urban Myths. Secondly, I’ve been awarded a very generous grant from The Australia Council for the Arts to undertake the ZK/U residency. Thanks guys! We’ve postponed the residency til March next year so I’ve got a fair whack of time to build up excessive levels of excitement and work out how to do an umlaut on this keyboard in the meantime.
The residency project will be an extension of my Human Ecology MSc research about connection and resilience, this time focusing on learning stories about how people in Berlin connect to place, to each other, and to their selves (rather than just waxing lyrical about the importance of making these connections). I realise I keep promising to expand on my posts later, and I wholeheartedly believe that I will, so I’ll make another promise now… more on this project to come.
