Remapping Collaborations
Remapping Collaborations suggests the formation of new modes of collaboration by researching spatial and design practices to navigate the complexities of an increasingly convoluted and fractured geopolitical landscape.
It aims to shift narratives and contribute to a dialogue on contested modernisms, reframing shared worlds as crucial in the decolonisation of institutions. Projects such as the Tilting Axis Fellowship and Modernisms Along the Indian Ocean focus on fluid, globalised aesthetics, diasporic knowledges, and their historical legacies. We meet knowledge where it is, instead of extracting and managing it, engaging with different perspectives that decentre the dominance of Eurocentric epistemologies. Collaboration involves testing new relational vocabularies, and prioritising multivocality and parity of voices for mutual learning in an infinitely centred world. The entanglements between local and global perspectives encourage active engagement with embodied, intersectional, and international epistemic traditions, rehearsing the institution's role in a decolonised realm.
