The journey begins 450-400 million years ago with the formation of a geological fault, which today separates two distinct regions: the Highlands and the Lowlands. The Highland Boundary Fault zone is a geological tapestry; its geodiversity has had a profound influence on our history, economies, culture and settlement patterns and has determined more-than-human habitats.
Taking into account social and environmental fractures, points of tension and upheaval, interdimensional readings made from within the fault zone enabled students to define their own zones in need of critical attention, care and action. Going beyond simple surfaces to engage deeply with cultural and ecological communities, the students’ work represents a complex mesh of beings, materials animate and inanimate and associated processes.
