It’s a set of pedagogical gestures, recipes, intentions, writings, loose settings, sketches, and ways of being that emerged or were mentioned during Garden404 collaborations and conversations. Gathered in no particular order, they feed each other and contribute to a situated interrelational inquiry or the process of meaning-making. Their main contribution is to disrupt the replicative knowledge methods and, starting from curiosity and care, engage in the process of becoming with the world of a specific scale and place. (they can be used in other situations, but they can transfer through practicing in other situations, therefore they are not methods, but rather intentions or scores).
The resulted inventory is meant as a medium for multi-relational learning situations.
