| Dust and shadow is FoAM's contribution to a transdisciplinary research and residency programme at the ASU (Arizona State University), exploring environmental issues specific to the desert of the North-American Southwest. We combine philosophical inquiry with experiential futures and action research to explore divergent approaches to desertification (both ecological and cultural), zombie-utopias, panpsychism, beyond-human relationships and probabilistic future preparedness. | ---- |

We combine philosophical inquiry with experiential futures and technological arts to explore existing and potential relationships between people and the desert. By addressing the mythical and experiential underpinnings of contemporary life in the desert, we invite emotional engagement with abstract concepts, such as desertification, climate weirding or attunement. We design participatory experiences and experimental publications, as evocative propositions for re-alignment of urban and desert ecosystems. |

| How all of this might unfold (TBC and subject to change without notice) | Dust and Shadow is developed on-site in Arizona (three field trips for research, design and creation of public experiments) and online (publications, a wiki and an LP). The project concludes with a final event at the ASU in Phoenix/Tempe in the fall of 2019. |
