Radical Rituals is a travelling study along the 45°N parallel between 45°N 1°W and 45°N 35°E. It is a study of the inventiveness of everyday life, new spatial practices and vernacular rituals that energise and nourish communities across Europe.
This project focuses on beings, situated scenarios and collaborative actions to revisit current vocabularies and methods of spatial production. In the current socio-political situation, there is an urge to reconceptualise the methods of spatial practice and consider a more complex understanding of the interwoven relationships between humans and non-humans and the impact of physical contexts. To this end, we follow an imaginary line: the 45ºN parallel. This line runs across Europe, from the Atlantic coast to the Black Sea. Through excursions and interactions with local actors, we interrupt the abstraction of the line and question symbolic perceptions of reductive dichotomies such as centre/periphery, north/south and east/west. This topographical approach allows us to explore the 45ºN parallel through rituals, collective organisational structures and non-commercial activities that address global issues such as climate justice, gender, biodiversity, degrowth and solidarity and provide the best possible answers from their local context.
