How do we get to know the world, and how do we locate ourselves within it? For spatial practitioners these are crucial questions that guide the way we produce knowledge, and the kinds of practices we value in our work. On a planet faced with multiple crises, Weaving Worlds is a call to create speculative models that work with multiple truths and actively envision other realities. Paying attention to the entanglements of the many, heterogeneous, and situated worlds, Weaving Worlds asks, how might we produce maps differently? And how might we reimagine the practice of representation, giving precedence to different ways of knowing the world and committing to developing forms of practice that weave together what might be contradictory positions into future scenarios? The exhibition features work by a diverse range of architects, artists and spatial practitioners, the multi-media exhibition includes installations, sound and video works.
