This is a trilogy of papers about land and people and the ecology they create together. Leah lives on the coast in South Wales. Lisen lives on the island of Gotland in Sweden. Gail lives in Yorkshire in the north of England. What connects us and our writings is the land, its history, its place in industry and what we do and don’t see. The cuts in the land reflect the cuts in our minds, unnegotiated edits in our stories, and disconnects in political discourses. This trilogy of papers documents some of these cuts and joins. We speak about the land we walk on and the stories told about it. We point to scars in the landscape and ask how they connect with those in the lungs and on the wrist. The landscape of the present holds clues about its past and its future. And the timescapes in the writings evoke a necessity to connect time and place, human and non-human colonising and liberatory methods and live with a maddening, flickering lenticularity (Pillow, 2019).
In this paper, we share reflections from our research into spontaneous coordinations through the creation of pop-up dialogical installations. We offer a collage of anecdotes from our professional practice, from our personal lives and from dialogical installations. These episodes highlight themes from our everyday practice and show us what we do and what we value, but through new doorways. From our work on the streets, we see how i) making something with, and for, people requires daring; ii) we are always involved in reconfiguring dialogical space as we go; iii) we exchange planning for preparation; iv) dialogue is always influenced by, and influencing of, context; v) collage in writing and mixed media allows us to experiment with new configurations of words and share some mo(ve)ments from the installations. Abstrakt (Swedish) I denna artikel, reflekterar vi över tankar från vår forskning inifrån spontana dialogiska förlopp, studerade genom dialogiska pop-up installationer där vi själva deltar. Vi erbjuder ett kollage av anekdoter från våra yrkesverksamheter, från våra personliga liv och från de dialogiska installationerna. Dessa episoder ger nya infallsvinklar och kastar nytt ljus på teman och värderingar i vår dagliga praktik. Genom vårt arbete på gatorna ser vi: i) att det kräver mod att göra något för och med människor; ii) att vi alltid är involverade i att skapa dialogiska rum; iii) hur vi byter ut planering mot förberedelse; iv) att dialoger alltid påverkas av och i sin tur påverkar kontexten; v) att skrivande i collageform och mixed media, gör det möjligt att experimentera med nya former och dela lite av mo(ve)ments från installationerna.
