Oslo Fjord Ecologies Workshop 21st to 27th of November 2016
Art in Society, HiOA, Oslo, Norway
Art and research project on cultural and biological sustainability of the sea.
The Oslo Fjord encompasses ecological connections and challenges that are specific and tangible, as well as cultural practices and interactions with the environment and its populations.
The Oslo Fjord is nature, economy, infrastructure, biology, materiality, culture and history as well as future plans and challenges.
How can new concepts of knowledge, artistic methods and interdisciplinary engagement contribute to formulate sustainable relationships to the environment?
The workshop was organized in three main clusters or spinners of themes, interests and questions:
- (art)education
- artistic research
- the everyday: agency and action
- Ecologies: diverse perspectives on ecology
- Ecology in educational contexts
- Ecology in practical contexts
