This module positions students as contributors to a future exhibition, Residue(s) of Ritual (2046).

The exhibition looks back at the rituals and routines of the previous two decades (2026–2046) and asks: what physical traces remain? What evidence has been preserved, displayed, and archived as testimony to how societies lived, loved, gathered, cared, resisted in these years?

Here, ritual is understood broadly. It refers not only to religious or ceremonial acts, but also to everyday routines, habits, micro-choreographies, patterns, and repetitions that structure lives: the rhythms of commuting, gestures of digital exchange, civic acts like queuing or protesting, seasonal gatherings, or the small care routines of domestic life.

Students will design and make a 1:1 spatial artefact that acts as evidence of such a ritual or routine. The work may take the form of a fragment, installation, document, photograph, video, or digital scan - but it must go beyond being an isolated object. Each submission must speak to space, practice, and embodied repetition: the worn surface of collective passage, the canopy stretched for multispecies gathering, or the acoustic echo of daily mourning.
