This presentation shares my insights gathered from a series of curated mineral walks in a disused limestone quarry in Limhamn, Malmö, near the coast of the southwestern edge of Sweden. As a trained industrial designer and PhD candidate within design, my entry point is to explore human-mineral relations from designerly and curatorial approaches. In my work I am drawing from a theoretical framework of feminism new materialism and critical posthumanism, in order to critically and creatively examine the role of the designer and the connections between design and global extractivism. In the disused limestone quarry, walking has become a method for situated knowledge production emerging from the mineral encounters in this transformational site itself, like the sediment layered walls which expose not only the boundary between geological periods but also evokes philosophical conversations about the boundaries between life and non-life. Contrary to the regular guided tours at this site (from the perspectives of geology, biology and industrial history), the mineral walk starts from the hypothesis that minerals are not lifeless. My insights suggest that, when not merely considered as ‘resources’ or ‘threats’, to humans, then walking and thinking with rocks, stones and minerals as vital (Bennett 2010), has a potential to extend our ethical and political response (Springgay et. al., 2017). Walking as a method puts focus on human-nature entanglements, with the aim to establish that nature is not a mere background as ecofeminist Val Plumwood put it (1993) or located somewhere out there, but always the very substance of ourselves, what Stacy Alaimo calls the transcorporeal (2010). The walk and this presentation, explores this common ground, “the petric in the human and the anthropomorphic in the stone” (Cohen, 2015), because as Fausto- Sterling puts it, “culture can shape bones” and “bone-structure can shape cultures” (Åsberg et. al., 2011).
