AA Visiting School | Climate Cartographies: Imaginations of Land

In this conversation, we explore how cultural practices, environmental contexts, and critical narratives intersect to shape contemporary identities.
With insights from experts in heritage building, archaeology, and education, we examine narratives around land that challenge colonial borders and homogenised histories, paying close attention to how embodied spaces and lived experience foster storytelling and meaningful social connections.

About AAVS
A glitch, often perceived as an error or disruption, serves as an unanticipated opportunity for insight and growth. Supported by Alserkal Arts Foundation, the AA Visiting School programme in Dubai explores the undefined or the in-between through situated spatial sonic practices that encompass listening, translation, and transcription.
As part of the Climate Cartographies programme, the School’s agenda in Dubai examines the intersection of climate change and heritage, while considering innovative ways of representing these themes in and through the medium of sound.
With a cohort of 20 architects, designers, cultural practitioners and artists, we will collaboratively interact with data, research, artistic practices, and the region’s complex history to develop projects that emerge from a sensitivity to both sound and land.
