A transdisciplinary artist, educator, and consultant working in video, installation, performance, and collaboration, Curry centers environmental, economic, political and gender structures. Curry’s research-based practice frames her projects with the diverse location-specific narratives that link non-conventional methods of research and activism. Extending into the areas of urban planning and design, developing projects in collaboration with the communities her work resides, the engagements and interactions generated form deeply personal, dynamic, thought-provoking experiences and concepts.

Laura has conducted projects in North and South America, Europe and the Caribbean, and has been exhibited internationally.

Marius Hübler is a PhD student within the working group of Silja Klepp at the Geography Department of Kiel University. With an interdisciplinary background in sustainability sciences and international economics, his main research interests are socio-ecological transformation processes, (economic) growth independent development models and structural possibilities to foster pathways towards climate justice and a ‘good life for all’. His PhD project investigates the current and potential role of sufficiency and degrowth approaches in municipal climate protection and regional development within rural regions in Schleswig-Holstein. With long-year experiences in hands-on sustainability education, he is keen in experimenting with transformative, participatory research methods.
