Annotations

Mapping Practices

The AgriForum Blog

'Annotations - the AgriForum Blog' is envisioned as a space for reflection, experimentation and dissemination of on field observations and ideas that asks one to rethink the words - 'studio' , 'site' and 'production'. Presented here are four sections that each speaks of the ways in which the practices of participants, their sites , methodologies and exchanges get evoked and communicated.

‘Preoccupations’ outlines starting points and overlaps between participants and their concerns, especially as our first phase is geared towards developing a practice of reading around the agrarian and its vocabularies.

'Field Notes' looks at the processes of documentation that forms a basis for a lot of practices in the group by looking closely at sketch books, journals, diaries, images and/or videos that form a part of the participant's ‘field notes' .

'Mapping Practices' further introduces the sites that each of the participant occupy through alternate mapping and walks - making visible its expanse, various nuances, and ground level realities.

'Transmissions' is a section that follows the exchange of ideas, objects and perspectives between participants around the concept of a tool. It rethinks in particular the forms of knowledge, production, value and transmission that reside within tools as social and physical agents.
