Climate change is often described through abstract temperature averages, yet lived realities are experienced as a multitude of localised ground conditions: ecological breakdown, seasonal instability, urban heat intensification, and heightened vulnerability in regions already under pressure from extractive industries.

​​​​​

We prioritise situated research and projects:

​​

Our mission is to address this unevenness by enabling research projects and ventures grounded in real ground conditions; projects that help communities and ecosystems navigate profound environmental, social, and economic change. 

 

​We aim to bridge the persistent gap between siloed knowledge production and the complexities of situated action:​

​

Disciplinary categories have historically organised academic research into silos; humanities deals with the socio-economic conditions of society, science deals with nature, and engineering deals with technology. While cross overs between them increasingly become sites of innovation, those categories on their own are no longer sufficient for understanding the way the planet is today, as climate change reveals the entanglements between humans and nature, the urban and wild, politics and sciences. 

 

How can modern institutions attend to the planetary condition of climate change and its myriad manifestations that break down disciplinary distinctions into obscurity?

 

We respond to the material conditions that constrain independent research:

 

By providing workspaces, programmatic infrastructure, and access to funding we enable deep, sustained inquiry, supporting the projects and people undertaking them.
