MARD’NESS is a digital and onsite CSM Window showcase that shares a glimpse of the diverse journeys that our students have entered and we invite you to delve deeper with us whilst they are preparing for the graduation year. Scroll to explore projects, insights, and thought-provoking questions. Follow us as we navigate this dynamic ecotone terrain, moving between worlds, connecting design disciplines, the digital and local, the human and more-than-human, all towards designing for a more-than-human world.
This first cohort have been pioneering MARD’ness, deepening relations, expanding communities and shifting the human-design monologue into a living systems dialogue. MARD’ness is a co-evolutionary partnership, working with the dynamic living relations that we are all part off, working and learning from the situated conditions and challenges of our living planet. Living systems are not static, but a continuous evolving flow of interactions. MARD’ness does not end when the MA is finished, but continues in place, working with the ecosystems we are part of.
