Beskrivelse

The network seeks to develop a nuanced understanding of and visionary design strategies
for urban development in the Anthropocene by finding connections between an artistic,
an architectural, a social science and a natural science understanding of atmosphere. To
gather knowledge, the network arranges three workshops in the span of three years taking
place in, respectively, Aarhus, Addis Ababa and the Arctic region.
The Addis Ababa workshop took place from 10th –13th November 2019 at the Guramayne
Art Center. This was the second workshop arranged by the network – it was developed
and organized in collaboration with Christina Werner (Institut für Raumexperimente/Studio
Olafur Eliasson).
The focus of the workshop was approaches to mapping and registering of atmospheres in
the urban Anthropocene. The thematic sub-focus was Subnatures and Biodiversity. The
workshop was centred around mapping-artworks produced in the week preceding the
workshop by Ethiopian artists, Yero Adugna Eticha and Leikun Nahusenay, in collaboration
with Danish architects, Rasmus Hjortshøj and Asbjørn Jessen, and students from the Alle
School of Fine Arts that participated in the workshop led by Makeda Begashaw, Polina
Chebotareva and Christina Werner. The mapping-artworks were exhibited at Guramayne
Art Center for the duration of the workshop and created the backdrop for all workshop
lectures and discussions.
