Focused on work package 3 ‘Urban Subjects’, I have used the two research questions to guide me in my interactions:
- How do the pedagogic strategies employed by spatial practices effect and contribute to the transformation and construction of subjectivity?
- What forms of knowledge are produced, and what types of subjects are supported?
I have broken the secondment into 4 visits, recognising my own subjectivities elicited in context, and shifting familiarity with the context through each trip and investment in relationships, while exploring the above questions.
The methods I have used are:
- Walking / drifting
- Meetings with a range of people from arts, education, and community projects
- Informal conversation
- Notetaking
- Writing
- Drawing
- Photographing
- Reading
- Visiting Museums and cultural centres
- Attending events
- Working on adjudication panel for arts funding
My intention by the Nov 2025 conference is to produce a small booklet combining image and text. A limited number of these would be produced, and subsequently gifted to sites I inhabited during my trips and to key people I met.
In terms of the conference, I would propose giving a ‘performed’ presentation that would bring this booklet alive – a combination of reading passages with projected visuals.
