Rewilding Cultures Mobility Grant by Schmiede 2025 goes to Ren Loren Britton. 

With many thanks to Kulturfabrik Luxembourg for support during this research residency, this image shows a work-in-progress which is a dreaming table standing above a projector - with legs made to resemble planetarium machines - and a star galaxy plate atop the legs. The projector is beaming with a blue light from below the dreaming table - projecting the kinds of presents and futures we want - the ones that would be needed for all of us to be well, and to be together.

We want to congratulate Ren Loren Britton.

Ren Loren Britton will be spending time in Büchsenhausen.

The Rewilding Cultures Mobility Grant by Schmiede 2025 will go towards expanding the ongoing work Coalition Constellation.  

All eight Rewilding Cultures Mobility Grants 2025

Coalition Constellation is a new work re:naming star constellations in the sky to represent stories that center disability accessibility and collective stories between oppressed communities of when things have gone well. With the Mobility Grant Ren will develop this media installation to include accessibility based modes like: audio description, closed captions and a braille star map so that visitors of this new artwork can feel the stars. 

Ren Loren Britton is a trans*disciplinary artist-designer reverberating with trans*feminism, technosciences, radical pedagogy and disability justice. The hir-story of cyberfeminism informs their focus on trans*, as in, transgender and trans*, as in, crossing contexts with feminist concerns. They are interested in how socio-technical systems make lives accessible and pleasurable. Departing from the understanding that we live in a deeply ableist white supremacist world they follow justice oriented practices by rethinking and reenacting all terms of who and what fits (in on/offline spaces) with what friction (or not) and why. Disability justice emerges in their practice as a practice of upholding and valuing all non-normative bodies and minds. Ren holds a Master of Fine Arts from the Yale University School of Art and a Bachelor of Arts and of Fine Arts from Purchase College, US and lives in Berlin, Germany.

 

Rewilding Cultures (RC) is a Creative Europe collaboration project, which wants to reposition the wild within the field of art practices connecting to science and technology.
