With a stranger sleeping on your couch; inside the boxes at the storage facility; surrounded by the information you share in the cloud; after clearing customs at the airport; where your passport allows you to reside. Being at home has different definitions nowadays, both within domestic settings and in the spaces defined by national boundaries.
After Belonging addresses and imagines the objects, spaces, and territories of a transforming condition of belonging. Global circulation of people, information, and goods has destabilized what we understand by residence, questioning spatial permanence, property, and identity—a crisis of belonging. These transfers bring greater accessibility to ever-new commodities and further geographies. But, simultaneously, circulation also promotes growing inequalities for large groups, kept in precarious states of transit. After Belonging analyzes the ways in which architecture participates and intervenes in both our attachment to places and collectivities—Where do we belong?—as well as our relation to the objects we produce, own, share, and exchange—How do we manage our belongings?
The Core Program of the Triennale is composed by:
- After Belonging: On Residence, an exhibition at the Norwegian Centre for Design and Architecture (DOGA)
- After Belonging: In Residence, a program of intervention strategies and exhibition at the National Museum—Architecture
- After Belonging: The Objects, Spaces, and Territories of the Ways We Stay in Transit, a book published by Lars Muller
- After Belonging: Conference, at the Oslo Opera House
- After Belonging: The Embassy, a stateless embassy that represents, through cultural means, the ideals of “stateless democracy” developed by Kurdish communities of the autonomous region of Rojava in northern Syria. Conceived and designed by Studio Jonas Staal in collaboration with the Democratic Self-Administration of Rojava
- After Belonging: The Academy, a forum organized by the Oslo School of Architecture and Design AHO, bringing schools and students from around the world into a global dialogue and knowledge-sharing experiment
