If you are in or around Cardiff, and interested in the Geohumanities, then you are very welcome to participate in the second Geohumanities Platform event on Tuesday 23rd June, 11am-1pm.
Meet us in Central Square, Cardiff (outside Cardiff Central Station) to go on a short walk to the old Brains Brewery site in central Cardiff (now named Central Quay, see
https://www.rioarchitects.com/project/central-quay masterplan/ ).
The ‘Beyond the Silo’ walk seeks to explore interdisciplinary working through a research walk to the Brains Brewery redevelopment site in Cardiff (where the brewery silos now remain as a relic of past-praxis in a new city landscape). Following the ‘talking whilst walking’ method, the research ‘walk-shop’ will harness the external environment as a critical cue for dialogue, with collaborators coming together to capture ideas, reflections, and provocations on their own praxis of interdisciplinarity.
As we walk, we invite participants to attend not only to the visual landscape but to the full multisensory environment — the sounds, textures, atmospheres, and even the unexpected sensory cues that shape how we encounter the city. These sensory impressions can act as prompts for literary, cultural, historical, and artistic reflection, helping us consider how different disciplines ‘read’ the same space in distinct ways.
We encourage you to capture the research data generated from this walking workshop in any media of your choosing (spoken and written words, cartography, and image). These data can then be translated into new geo-graphic insights which can be communicated through the Geohumanities Platform.
