The course explores the entanglement of nature and culture through embodied somatic knowledge production. By investigating the concept of naturecultures, participants will engage in multi-sensory, creative, ethnographic and critical practices.

We will develop individual research projects to explore the intersections of nature, culture, places, and phenomena in Berlin. By investigating diverse forms of knowledge production, including acoustic fieldnotes, sound collages, poetry, color palettes, and forms we will experiment with utopian research approaches. These contain somatic and aesthetic practices to deepen the connection between self and environment. By the end of the workshop we will create artistic responses to the explorations, culminating in a collective installation or small exhibition. Participants will position themselves as vulnerable observers (Ruth Behar), recognizing how their experiences, biases, and emotions inform their understanding of naturecultures.
