The 2-year research project transitory writing in no one’s land sets out to activate temporary communities as a series of workshops for testing new practices of situated writing. Our aim is to examine how collective writing as co-authorship might create conditions for inter-subjective relations and the emergence of inclusive in-between spaces or no one’s lands. The research project transitory writing in no one’s land is conducted by researchers Emma Cocker, Andrea Coyotzi Borja, Cordula Daus, Paula Urbano, and Lena Séraphin, and is supported by the Kone foundation.
