Talkshop #5: December 17th

MOVING WITH MOUNTAINS

Facilitated bY S†ëfan SCHÄFER

Dear all,

We are proud to announce Talkshop #5, a Shared Campus initiative embedded within the Social Transformation theme group.

Talkshops are a series of online gatherings for the PhD community to share research, collaborate, and exchange ideas under the umbrella of social transformation within art&design.

Talkshops are grounded in the practising of social justice.

PhD students are invited to join these informal, communal and generous gatherings.

Description

In June 2023 s†ëfan schäfer started his Professional Doctorate (PD) at DAS Research, lectorate of the Academy of Theater and Dance, entitled “Breaking Apart Together: Performing affective design with dying mountains and glaciers”. Given the increasing mortality rate of glaciers and mountains in the Alps and Iceland: What role can performance and design play in enabling humans and more-than-humans to face and respond to the death of glaciers and mountains? Can mountains and glaciers be equal collaborators in the design process regarding climate crisis? How are both, humans and more-than humans moved emotionally by the movement of mountains and glaciers as they cope with (future) ecological grief?
