Trail description:
Everything is connected. Place — Plants — People. Recognising that we are part of the ecosystem — not separate — and by creatively reimagining what symbiotic relationships of local production and consumption might look like, we could go a long way as individuals and community to connect to Earth on a local, personal level.
Exploring possibilities of the overlooked local foraged treasures, on this trail, sensual and practical experiments were invoked to create woven objects by drawing metaphorical connections.

Foresta Academy is an international learning community co-creating experiences dedicated to cultural transformation towards multi-layered sustainability mindset within the hybrid field. This work is rooted in values of ecosystems awareness, embodied culture, as well as art thinking and making. Based on resonances rather than institutional divisions, we are exploring new forms around questions how do we want to live, work and learn in more conscious, regenerative, and creative ways.

Interwovenness is an investigative project led by ideas, material, methodologies, process and epistemologies to inquire on the language of weaving.
The metaphor of interweaving plays a central role in the humanities and social sciences, including science and digitalization research. At the same time, weaving operate in a field of tension between craft, art, and self-actualization. The project explores the potential of this metaphor not only intellectually-conceptually, but also experimentally: How does our thinking about autonomy and heteronomy, the inclusion and presuppositionality of things in infrastructures change through metaphors of interweaving and interwovenness? In a first closed workshop on February 12th, this field of tension will be examined by looking at different weaving and braiding techniques with designer crafts practitioner Evey Kwong.
After the first workshop, there is a further three-day workshop planned, open to all Junge Akademie members and alumni.
