Un-guided journeys: Tracing the multi-layered temporalities of Amager Commons in Copenhagen, Denmark
Based on collective walks, this article explores the entangled, multi-layered temporalities of Amager Commons, and how these might offer possibilities for new relationships with urban environments. The article draws on and contributes to scholarship on arts-based, collaborative methodologies, urban nature-cultures, and more-than-human temporalities. Having been used as common farmland, a garbage dump, and a shooting ground for the military, today…
Bewilderment, Hope, and Despair
This essay is a collective investigation of affective experience, bewilderment, and imagery during the COVID-19 situation in Copenhagen, Denmark through multivocal writing and filmmaking. By letting go of the promises of normality, both in thinking and creating, the writers explore various personal, academic, and aesthetic states of affect—hope, despair, desire, and frustration, like temporary landscapes or glimpses of a new world. Feeding on bor…

And – as toxic substances dissipate and spreads through media and circulating representations they clouds the sight to the human beings in front…

The article discuss the conflicts, potentials and possible alliances of do-it-yourself (DIY) urbanism when it takes the form of spontaneous place appropriations, when it is performed as participatory urban design and when it is integrated strategically in planning.
