Through the perspective of the imaginal disc, ɬɾąŋʂɠɛŋıƈ 2021 invites spatial practitioners and researchers from across fields of operation to analytically, speculatively or practically approach effects emerging at the intersections of the built and natural environments and explore their purchase on a world in polyform reformation. ɬɾąŋʂɠɛŋıƈ 2021 – The imaginal disc is an invitation for projects and perspectives in spatial practice via the lens of motives of knowing and unknowing, in their mutuality and interplay: ways of detaching and connecting, pathways of searching and researching, acts of solving and dissolving, motions of codification and decodification, merits of remembering and forgetting.
