MAST Network Project (2025-26)
The MAST Network- Making Knowledge for Sustainable Transformations is a network funded by NordForsk. Together we are creating a unique space for exchange and capacity building across Indigenous and non-Indigenous academic institutions that incorporate knowledge through making.
We work at the intersection between: indigenous knowledge-through-making and art and design knowledge-through making. By centering the discussions around shared forms of creative practice and ways of thinking things/objects of knowledge, the network will create opportunities for knowledge dialogues in rigorous, creative and respectful ways. Importantly the network aims to extend this exploration by connecting with indigenous issues in the global south.
The project is led by Prof. Julia Valle-Noronha, in collaboration with Profs. Andrea Botero and Maarit Mäkelä, and postdocs Nathaly Pinto and Priska Falin.
