The project Terrestrial Cosmologies is an experimental cooperation between art students from Turkey, Germany, and Austria. Integrating the fields of art education, experimental and eco-social design, film, poetry, and artistic research, the interdisciplinary program. It aims to explore decolonial pedagogical methodologies and artistic/design approaches within the context of a practice-based research within rural infrastructures at the Tigris region in Southeast Turkey.
Terrestrial Cosmologies takes the form of a one-week on-site workshop. During our stay in the town of Batman and the Raman region, student/teachers teams will visit, research and approach urban and rural infrastructures as a collective effort to understand daily life and the ecologies of the rural landscapes. Through a series of workshops we will focus on Tigris phenomenologies, spatial interventions, and learning about Ezidi, Kurdish, and Suryani culture, especially the history of their lands, their nomadic and settled lifestyles, and the migration histories between Germany, Austria, and the Tigris region.
KKP students will engage with site-specific artistic research and art-pedagogical practices that are sensitive to differences within teaching and learning processes. In this context, the students will document their working processes and learn to consider the socio-political conditions in which their artistic/educational processes take place.


Please note that the number of participants from Angewandte is limited to 8 students.
To apply, please send a short 🥦 APPLICATION/MOTIVATION LETTER 🥦(max 300 words) in English including your points of interest concerning ecology, rural infrastructures, extractivism, and decolonial art pedagogies.
