Jury Team for Reconnect Residency
RECONNECT is a research residency, hosted by Valley of the Possible & Gagel farm. This year I will be on the jury duty and organising artist activities for the residency period.
The residency asks ‘How do we build a regenerative cultures, sacraments, languages, institutions and rituals that facilitate life? How do we become “native”? And what would that even look like in a 21st century European context?’
These urgent cultural questions are at the heart of Gagel farm RECONNECT residency. Here we invite talented cultural practitioners – such as artists (of all disciplines), scientists, policy makers – to start working on exploring, imagining and building a culture that cares, connects and heals.
We welcome artists (of all disciplines), and other cultural practitioners, to apply for a residency stay of a minimum of 4 weeks to take place somewhere between June and November 2025.

TED talk on Decolonizing Architecture
Climate change was never just about Weather. We are living in an entangled world in which everything is connected and the Earth thrives off of living relationships. What if architecture were to design for the living relationships of the Earth, communities, history, our emboidment, and a different type of future grounded in the methods of the indigenous past?
