Since 2016, the project Cosmomorphe has been reconsidering humans as one living being among others for the purposes of composing a common world, both human and non-human. In 2019, based on Stations 15 – “Faire Chair, comment changer de paradigme dans des mondes enchevêtrés?” – 16 – “Métamorphose et contamination, la permanence du changement” – and 18 – “Rituel.le.s” –, a need for a true transformation capable of allowing us to put our imagination into action emerged. Now more than ever, the amplification of the planetary crisis spurs us to action, starting with (re)establishing connections: this is what La Fabrique du Nous, initiated by the IAC and URDLA, invites us to do. On this occasion, the Laboratory is organizing Station 21 "Cartographie of Us #2 / Caring for the land". Who or what is the “us” of today? How can we draw up new maps of the relationships between humans and non-humans employing sensitivity and creation? With which maps of living communities can an art of re-inhabiting and rehabilitating the world emerge? Similar to the example of the exhibitions and events organized by SILLON, aiming to re-situate artistic practices in terms of their involvement and commitment at the heart of an everyday life, and by relying on the identity of a territory, Station 21 “Cartographie of Us #2 / Caring for the land” proposes to measure our attachment to the earth with the most refined descriptive practices possible. Shifting the political and demiurgic expression of territorial planning to the careful but precarious expression of land management implies, among other things, basing the work on materials, fluids, and biological processes to the extent that they overwhelm the "environment" through their geomorphic power.
