We invite & welcome students to situate their research in Bidar, to learn from its settlements, the region and their woven (plural) worlds. It has and does continue to ‘hold’and ‘nurture’ diversity of cross-connections between communities, languages, locative practices, ecologies and settlements. In this DRP you can explore the woven relationships through ‘creative urban practice’, an approach to co-produce knowledge & understanding along with the communities who collectively hold rich scholarship of the place generated through lived & shared experiences.
There are four tracks that cut-across multiple micro-contexts in Bidar and its surroundings.
1. Connected Water Systems in Bidar (MAHR & MCR)
2. Cross-cultural influences in Visual Architecture (MAHR)
3. Ordinary histories & Community-based Archiving (MAHR & MCR)
4. Places of care & solidarity during Police Action
