There is a sound beyond the ear, an image at the edge of sight, an object at the fingertips. That is where my journey takes me.
A pencil's tip, a line drawn.
Where a thought expires, there is an idea. In the last breath of joy, there is another joy. At the tip of the sword, there is magic. That is where my journey takes me.
At the ball of the foot, a leap.
It seems like the story of someone who left and never returned. That is where my journey takes me.
Clarice Lispector. That is where my journey takes me.

 

This project aims to shine a spotlight on the more-than-human lives that silently form part of our daily lives, focusing on the objects around us that often go unnoticed. Paying attention to our homes, on the way from home to school, in the surrounding parks, or inside the school itself, and asking ourselves: How are we interacting with the other lives around us? How do we understand the ecosystems that shape us?

In a dense and complex present such as the one we inhabit, I believe that our attention is becoming increasingly political. It is necessary to sharpen our listening, to bring it back to the body: what goes unnoticed? Why? Who explains the stories we hear? Who does not? What stories could emerge from the seed inside the cupboard? Or from the object abandoned on the pavement? Let's work together to rethink where we want to go, how we define progress, and what role technology plays.

Using collective methodologies such as play, curiosity, experimentation, intuition, and visual arts tools, we will explore together, get lost, fail, and start again.

I would like to encourage us to take ownership of technoscience and open up new relationships between technology and life, human and non-human, organic and inorganic objects. Inventing ecosystems, blurring binaries, exploring other points of view. Let's speculate together about what we don't know, understand imagination as an intrinsically critical and regenerative tool: why would we want to imagine other worlds if we were happy with this one?

Perhaps it's all about finding each other to create bonds, build bridges, promote care, allow ourselves to be affected, and try out possibilities. Let's awaken our listening and questions, rethink our perspectives, open up extended temporalities, and find strategies to sustain each other. Let's collectively generate other ways of being and inhabiting the world.
