What can artistic experiences reveal about and how can they embody the voice of apocalyptic landscapes? How can the effects of surpassing disasters be dug out and memorized through artistic and architectural methodologies? This lecture aims to bring forward collective critical thinking by focusing on memorizing lands, de/archiving artifacts, enacting non-human cycles, and engaging with poetics of exile.  A zone of extraction along, Tigris River and its bordering lands will be examined to foster proposals of artistic research and its methodologies. The Tigris probes questions that build towards broader problematics, inviting participants to engage with artifacts as traces of an apocalyptic era; lands as layers of violence; cycles as Earth’s navigation; and exile as a voluntary collectivity.
