Land Marks
Considering reciprocal relationships between people and place
Guided by BRIDGE Centre for Architecture + Design and Cambridge Art Galleries, Land Marks is a collaborative community project that challenges us to consider our relationship with the land we live on through the marks we inscribe upon it. These inscriptions narrate a history of contradictions: relationships of stewardship and exploitation, place making and alienation, inhabitation and dispossession. Across Cambridge, through the 5 local library locations (Preston, Hespeler, Queen's Square, the Old Post Office, and Clemens Mill), this project will prompt us to consider the destructive and regenerative processes implicit in our land marks.
We are looking to work with local community members, artists, scientists, designers, and knowledge keepers on up to 3 distinct art projects. This may include, but is not limited to: installations, performances, conversations, and workshops. Proposals should directly engage the local community and encourage us to rethink our relationships with the ground we occupy. If you have an idea, propose it - be creative, be ambitious!
In your submission, please include a budget list, the skills and support you bring to the project and how it engages the idea of community and land. Please submit your proposal by March 22. 2020 via online application.
