SITE EXPLORATIONS

​

The “Entangled Milieus: Co-constituting a Shared Futurity” Conference starts with a series of explorations in the area of the Karkotis River, in Cyprus. The work on the field sets the basis of the conference’s discussions by bringing to the fore tangible entanglements. These are observed through the activities of (1) extraction in the Skouriotissa mine, (2) food production in the river valley and (3) land consumption operated by the real estate and non-agricultural activities. The investigations on the field aim to address the complexity of such forms of entanglement in relation to Cyprus’ frozen conflict and its existing division, observing closely the consequences of the UN cease-fire zone on the valley. The f ieldwork seeks to make visible the intertwining and dependencies between hu mans and other-than humans and discuss shared futurities in a reunified island.
