Resumo(s)

Quarry Sonnets was a research project on art and societal change investigating the value of artistic methodologies to decentre human perspectives and promote a multispecies society. This report reflects on the outcomes of a pilot trial in a former quarry in the Natural Park Serra de Aires and Candeeiros, Portugal. The pilot trial implemented a workshop with 45 art students and staff from six European Universities working in small groups in a collective effort to propose ideas for the Vale de Meios Quarry's rehabilitation, culminating in a public event with the local community and stakeholders. The workshop experimented with the quarry as a nexus for a multispecies conversation, exploring a framework that attempted to decentre human perspectives when considering ecosystem rehabilitation projects. The workshop generated ideas in partnership with the quarry ecosystem for further discussion and development with its stakeholders.
