GLIMT Collective consists of 5 anthropologists and 3 architects who collaborated to create the exhibition On Moving Ground. The exhibition featured seven interdisciplinary artworks, including audiovisual pieces, interactive installations, and textile installations. Though each piece was an individual work, the overall aim of the exhibition was to provide insight into ways of living in environments characterized by massive changes. On Moving Ground offered partial glimpses into a series of narratives set in contexts marked by transformation and invited dialogue about the state of global uncertainty we are living in.
The exhibition brought academic research, previously confined to institutions, into the heart of the city, transforming academic ideas into creative expressions to make them accessible to an audience they would not otherwise reach.

The exhibition piece, “We Used to Be Gatherers,” centered around material cycles and modes of valuation. Reflecting on two built works, one in an urban context and one in a rural context, two mappings are paired with a material catalog to reveal networks of material collection across each site. Questions of construction waste and invasive species challenge traditional modes of building to shift material hierarchies in architecture.
