Guest lecture / Talk

Jane Mah Hutton: "Reciprocal Landscapes: Stories of Material Movements"

Lecture based on the book project "Reciprocal Landscapes: Stories of Material Movements"

Drawing from the book project, Reciprocal Landscapes: Stories of Material Movements, this talk explores how the far-away, invisible landscapes where materials come from are related to the highly visible, urban landscapes where those same materials are installed. Following the movement of common construction materials in their many contexts and forms offers a chance to see them as more than fixed commodities and rather as continuous with other landscapes, people, and species elsewhere. The talk will touch on methods of following materials in motion, and the questions that arise while doing so.
