What can the sea being turned into harbour grounds, wetlands being drained and built upon, public paddling pools being paved over, and public fountains being disused, tell us about our past, present, and potential future relationship with the beyond-human waterscapes of Malmö?
In an immersive mapping exercise in two parts, we reflect on the shifting socio-ecological status, being, and demise of various “blue commons” in Malmö.
The workshop spans 3 hours, starting at Nobeltorget and ending at STPLN.
In part 1, we will explore 3 different “hauntings” of blue commons in Sofielund – engaging visually (taking photographs) and sonically (listening to place-specific “blue” soundtracks) with each space.
In part 2, at STPLN, we take our recent experiences from Sofielund to collaboratively trace the (dis)appearance of various public waterways and bodies in Malmö. To our help we have historical maps and photographs from the digital archives of Lantmäteriet, Malmö Stad, and Riksarkivet.
The outcome of the creative mapping practice will be three large maps, which make visible the past, present, and potential futures of Malmö’s “blue” ontologies.
![One month left of the exhibition “Allmänningen - att göra gemensamma rum” [The Commons]!The exhibition is based on the research project that I have been part of for the past 3 years, “Revisiting Allmänningar & Stråk. Spatial Justice in the 21st Century Urban-Rural Land Regime” (financed by the Swedish research council Formas). And there’s also a sliver of my PhD fieldwork from St Thomas Friedhof in Berlin worked into the mix.The exhibition puts long-time perspectives of land use in conversation with contemporary notions of space and power. From historical maps and interpretations, statistics on socio-economic differences between places, via urban planners’ tentative sketches of the future, to questions about the sounds and shapes of the commons. These different forms of mapping oscillate between questions of place and representation, and depict how the commons, as a phenomenon, has undergone numerous transformations throughout the years. What is more, they show how people, regardless of these changes, have always claimed their right to space.Where? @formdesigncenter Lilla Torg 9, MalmöUntil when? 2 June 2024 Daniel Engvall – Form/Design Center#commons #allmänningen #formdesigncenter](https://sp1.picnob.com/p/pt_6825502316424457134021_0_da64e74a7c33aab05b79c57d2d6c11d9.jpg?o=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&h=454292d7d8494d4f0104796baca99a67)
