Human and non-human agency in relation to nature and ecology
Second residency of Project12.0 takes place in February-March 2020 for four weeks in Islamabad. The residency aims to focus themes around human and non-human agency in relation to nature and ecology. Human agency is derived from personal choices and decision making processes in daily life, whereas non-human system forming entities like plants, animals, minerals, climate materials, ideas and concepts are categorized as non-human agency. By virtue of these agencies the relationship of entities within a social/ecological system become meaningful. It influence broader social, ecological relations and structures responsible for action and change in ecological systems and processes (Dwiartama, 2014).
12.0 Contemporary facilitate opportunities for the resident artists to interact with local artists, networks and resources to further explore their creative process encompassing the theme of the project, during the residency period.
Outcomes of the Residency
Resident artists develop production of work as outcome of residency and present the results with the local community in form of an exhibition. That is believed to help developing our understandings of human-environment relationship, questioning the role of human and non-human agency in relation to nature and ecology. Resident artists have open days for public – fellow artists, scholars and professionals to provide talks about their practice (production process, methodology, research, techniques etc).
