The Dispersal Project

Inspired by the movement of seeds around cities, the Dispersal Project is about the intentional and unintentional relationships between humans and non-humans. As we go about our lives, we are constant agents within different, often complex natural processes, whether we like it or not. This means that we must take care of the plants and creatures which not only shape our existence and inform our sense of belonging, but are vital to our mutual wellbeing.

During a three-month residency in Kortrijk, the Dispersal Project proposes a series of experiments in the form of three cabinets designed for the public space. Set in a space where human communities, landscapes and other living things are in constant dialogue, the project looks at both hands-on ways in which communities can interact with the diverse ecologies around the city, as well as inspiring a sense of wonder.
