The Dream – Play – Challenge Project. Facing Up to the Crisis in Residential Living
Residential architecture is in crisis. In the twenty-first century we face population growth, migration and displacement, shifting intergenerational consensus, changing concepts of domesticity, and the disintegration of traditional gender roles. The architecture of the spaces in which we dwell plays an essential role in the face of such challenges.
The Dream – Play – Challenge Project sets up a different form of creative exchange. It addresses how we could live in the future, extending the inclusive approaches of intersectional feminism to move beyond traditional academic discourse. This publication shows how forty international researchers came together to dream into future ways of residing, playfully co-creating more vibrant and just spaces of exchange
The Laughter of Trees
In late summer 2023, Small Acts invited audiences on a journey through Trengwainton Garden to discover Cornwall’s unique role in global plant collecting in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Katie Etheridge and Simon Persighetti collaborated with artist and writer Maria Christoforidou and performance artist and musician Amy Lawrence to create a meditative, multi-layered, immersive and sensory performance that invited audiences to reflect on difficult and sensitive questions in the context of a garden that was originally created with wealth derived from the labour of enslaved people.A map of Cornwall, a map of the world, a map the shape of a leaf. Performance exploring connections between horticultural histories, colonialism and Cornish gardens.
Commissioned as part of a research project by University of Exeter, National Trust and University of Bristol, enquiring into Cornwall’s rich and complex horticultural history, including connections to colonisation and transatlantic slavery
Curses, Rites and Questionable Offerings
A major aim of this chapter is to provide an overview of the presence of folk horror iconography, settings, themes and structures in videogames. Given that games present us with a modality of interaction absent from other media, it is also important to give some sense of how the formal characteristics of game media shape the articulation of folk horror in game contexts. While there are elements of folk horror in board games, such as those based on the Lovecraft mythos or those parented by comics or other media, such as the Lock and Key board game, I will focus instead on videogames across a range of game genres; mainly those that fall into the category of Adventure or Horror ‘role-playing games’, both single player games and multiplayer games
