RUK x KIBLA2LAB International Residency Program: Armina Pilav & Damir Ugljen
V KIBLA2LAB smo med 14. in 24. aprilom gostili_e arhitektko, umetnico in predavateljico na Univerzi v Sheffieldu dr. Armino Pilav in samostojnega raziskovalca, umetnika in arheologa Damirja Ugljena. Armina in Damir, ki delujeta v okviru transmedijske raziskovalne prakse Un-war Space Lab v Maribor sta se posvetila raziskovanju reke Drave ter posledic izkoriščanja tega vodnega telesa preko relacijskih ekologij in tehnologij razširjene resničnosti.
Un-war Space Lab je transmedijska raziskovalna praksa, ki temelji na materialnih transformacijah rek, zemlje, arhitekture, medvrstne družbe med vojno in po njej, ki jo vodi Armina Pilav, feministka, arhitektka in raziskovalka ekologij vojnega uničenja. Deluje kot fluidni kolektiv raziskovalcev_k in ustvarjalcev_k iz različnih disciplin krajinske arhitekture, filma, arheologije, vizualnih umetnosti, okoljske humanistike in še bi lahko naštevali_e. Večletno raziskovanje reke Neretve in njenih medvrstnih ekologij se razvija v sodelovanju z Damirjem Ugljenom – arheologom in samostojnim raziskovalcem, ki preučuje kulturni pomen in ekološke posledice materialnega preoblikovanja pokrajin s posebnim poudarkom na prilagodljivih odzivih nečloveških in človeških subjektov na novo nastale razmere.

Between 14 and 24 April KIBLA2LAB hosted Armina Pilav, PhD, an architect, artist, and lecturer at the University of Sheffield Damir Ugljen, an independent researcher, artist, and archaeologist as part of the RUK residency program. Armina and Damir, who operate in the scope of the transmedia research practice Un-war Space Lab, will focus on researching the Drava River, and the implications of exploiting this body of water through relational ecologies and augmented reality technologies in collaboration with local inhabitants and experts.
Un-war Space Lab is a cross-media research-based practice on material transformations of rivers, land, architecture, and the interspecies society during and after the war; it is led by Armina Pilav, feminist, architect, and researcher in ecologies of war destruction. It works as a fluid collective of researchers and practitioners across the disciplines of landscape architecture, film, archaeology, visual arts, and environmental humanities, to mention a few. Plurennial research on the Neretva River and its inter-species ecologies is developed in collaboration with Damir Ugljen – an archaeologist and independent researcher who explores the cultural significance and ecological consequences of the material transformation of landscapes, with a particular focus on adaptive responses of non-human and human subjects to newly formed conditions.
