OPEN CAMBRIDGE: HEDGE HOARDINGS
Hedge hoardings is a walk around Kings Hedges in Cambridge, following the ward’s ancient hedgerows, discovering plants and foraging. Led by artist Hermione Spriggs and local forager/historian Cab Davidson, this event explores hedges as edible places that offer a bounty of wild food to humans and other animals. Our walk takes in the ward’s oldest remaining stretch of hedgerow, traces the path of ghost-hedges, and ends in the centre of Kings Hedges where a new work of public art is being developed.

For thousands of years, hedgerow has been planted and maintained as a human boundary-marker, demarcating parish boundaries, privately owned fields and common land. Kings Hedges takes its name from a royal hunting ground where hedges were planted to guide wild animals, making them easier to catch. Through observations of plant species and landforms present we can trace the history of Kings Hedges even further back to the Iron Age and the Roman occupation. Today, ancient hedgerow provides a safe haven for wild animals, also hosting a rich biodiversity of edible plant species for the human forager.
12 September 2021, 14.00-16.00
Booking: The event is free however spaces are limited and must be prebooked. To reserve a place on the walk please click here.

MULTIMEDIA ENCOUNTERS
EXPERIMENTAL APPROACHES TO ETHNOGRAPHIC RESEARCH
I'm looking forward to charing a panel and sharing my own research though this conference hosted by the UCL Multimedia Anthropology Lab. MAL is a network of anthropologists and artists exploring knowledge creation and experimental media (www.uclmal.com)
How are ethnographic encounters with alterity mediated and transformed by multimedia technologies? Drawing on the insights and questions raised by both material culture studies and the ontological turn, we aim to facilitate a global conversation on the concepts, forms and mediums through which knowledge is produced and shared. This conference is hosted by UCL Multimedia Anthropology Lab, an interdisciplinary research network aimed at developing innovative methods for anthropological practice.
CONFERENCE PROGRAMME & KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
The conference will take place online on the 12th, 13th & 14th of January 2021, and will be accompanied by an online exhibition of multimedia works. Each day will begin with keynote contributions from academics and practitioners whose theory and practice invite us to think otherwise, followed by thematic panels where experimental research approaches and their implications for theory will be debated in more depth.

About this Event
Expanding the focus on scientific data which is common to discourse on the subject, UCL Anthropocene emphasises the causal links between the conditions of human experience and escalating ecological collapse. In this vein, this seminar will explore the potential of contemporary art practice in addressing the problems that the Anthropocene poses for our collective future.
Given the scope of the subject at hand, the format will be expansive and discursive. Each of the seven contributing UCL artists will give a short presentation (10-15 minutes) to introduce the significance of the notion of the Anthropocene within their practice and point towards ways in which contemporary art might effectively address the environmental crisis. Afterwards, these perspectives will be brought into dialogue through a 30-minute round table discussion, which will also be an opportunity to welcome questions from the audience.

This seminar will take place online, via Microsoft Teams.

CALL FOR PAPERS Coming Soon
How are ethnographic encounters with alterity mediated and transformed by multimedia technologies? UCL MAL invites contributions which explore ethnographic practices that are experimental - conceptually, technically, or methodologically - and which challenge established forms of research practice.
Technologies of Immersion | Sonic Ethnography | Exhibition as Research | Multisensory Media | Installations as Experiment | Digital Dialogues | other themes welcome.
HOW TO SUBMIT:
Email abstracts to
Encounters with alterity are central to anthropological research. As multimedia recording devices become more accessible and diverse, they play an increasingly active and important role in research practice and communication, and offer new methods for fieldwork encounters to be experienced and shared. This conference invites contributions which explore the ways that experimental practices and multimedia tools can participate in encounters with alterity, and transform the ways in which research is conducted and presented. Topics could include: technologies of immersion and VR, sonic ethnography, exhibition as research, multi sensory experiments, digital tools for community participation, or any other related theme.
On Friday the 1st of November, at 6:30 pm, Hermione Spriggs, D Graham Burnett and Adam Jasper will be running a workshop entitled “Sanctuary and Resistance in the Attentional Economy” at Arts Catalyst, in London. More information here.
