Admission seminar – Andy Peruccon and Xinquan Wen
Wednesday 15 May, 13:00 - 15:00
Niagara, K3 Studio (NI:C0541) or Zoom
Our new doctoral students Andy Peruccon and Xinquan Wen (VT24) present their research proposals.
Andy Peruccon
Andy’s research focuses on the exploration of regeneration through cultural interventions as a way to address societal and ecological challenges. Drawing from post-humanistic, speculative design and performative art lenses, this research aims at exploring and working with communities in Malmö, Trento and Milan, which - through festivals, rituals and other situated performative interventions - try to address and reflect upon the tensions between self and other, nature and culture as well as human and beyond human. This seminar will introduce the research plan, the context and the potential activities that will be carried out throughout the 4-year plan.
Xinquan Wen
Xinquan's research seeks to integrate more-than-human perspectives into collaborative urban ecological transformations. Affiliated with the EU project Bauhaus of the Seas Sails, this study delves into the intricate relationship between Malmö's inhabitants and its marine environment, striving to cultivate transitions that support the flourishing of all life by fostering cultural shifts. The forthcoming seminar will introduce the planned methodologies, activities and theoretical frameworks, including design anthropology and posthuman feminism, focusing on nurturing sustainable and interconnected urban-marine relationships in Malmö, while aiming to develop strategies and design capabilities relevant for just and regenerative transformation initiatives.
Reworlding network
Both projects are part of the Reworlding doctoral network, which invites 11 different researchers across Europe and various interdisciplinary methodologies to collaborate with academic and non-academic partners and articulate those reworlding design capabilities that can tackle socio-ecological issues from diverse perspectives.
