This work come after a six weeks analysis and practical engagement with the commune of Burtigny. Each group had to develop scenarios that describe a positive, credible and compelling vision for the future of Burtigny and its communities and stakeholders - an attempt to sketch out a new initiative, organisation, enterprise or project with the potential to improve the situation and address local or wider social, economic and environmental challenges.
Through an extended workshop with Assemble partner Maria Lisogorskaya, and woodcutter Simon Kroug (https://www.simonkroug.com/) these scenarios have been refined and given depth and specificity and became the support for the production of an ambitious, large-scale allegorical wood print. Describing a variety of different visions for Burtigny’s future, these are imagined as beautiful, and beautifully made, images that give weight to the ideas that are emerging in the students projects.
These prints then formed the centrepiece of a final, public presentation of the work of the Semester, where groups presented project proposals that set out a programme, scale and time-frame that will be developed as a project throughout the second term.
