SHARED PRACTICE X TENSION
Shared Practice X Tension are projects that emerge from the Shared Practice. While the Shared Practice is a time and a space to experiment without driving product creation, Exit Map's artists may deepen their inquiries and formulate projects collectively, embracing the aspects of exchange, feedback and shared ownership.
For example 'Radical Inclusion' is a collaboration between dance artist L. Doehler and architect C. Vasilikou that, via moving together and having conversations alongside, allowed an expanding of common ground because personal perspectives were enriched and gained a wider sense making. By nature the process of moving together as part of ones communication is incorporated into the work we do and how we want to make our work available to others. 'Together We Are' and the projects listed underneath increasingly assessed not only what kind of work we share but our availability to listen, our capacity for empathy and overall connectivity to the animate world around us by moving together.

To further Ponderosa's vision to connect to their neighbours and put Ponderosa on the map with its ability to give life to the unimaginable (Utopia), we make space to accept what isn't that. Permeability of otherness, directions of flows and small openings that invite new connections.
The Most Wuthering Height Day Ever
