Project description
The project atmospheric map of domestic knowledges (amodk) is a collective sense based practice for people who share common space by Alex/Alexandra Sofie Jönsson, Cliff Hammett, Kamilla Mez, and Clara Dybbroe Viltoft. It gives attention and image to how the atmosphere - objects, colours, architecture, and organisation of a space - is known within the body. By turning the sensations and associations that one experiences within a space into recommendations, amodk can be used as a creative and social tool to open conversations about institutional spaces, such as healthcare clinics, schools, public areas, as well as private homes.
The project is an ongoing exploration of experimenting with formats that has the potential for creating new grounds for conversations about space and in whose favour they work. Guided by a feminist understanding of the relationship between bodies and space in seeing that norms and practices are embodied, felt, and sentient, amodk allows you to redraw a space from the senses.
Project partners
amodk is organised by artists Alex/Alexandra Sofie Jönsson and Cliff Hammett, designer Kamilla Mez, movement facilitator Clara Dybbroe Viltoft and developed with community organiser Erica Figueiredo, and artist Sandro Masai.

Bio’s
Alex/Alexandra Jönsson is a socially engaged artist working with feminist and educational formats, by exploring how artistic practice can become a site for collective work that draws on multimodal knowledges.
