Introduction By Steinunn Knúts Önnudóttir 48 hours Eco Camp We started referring to the event as The Eco Camp in our conversations, drawing the resemblance to the summer camps of our youth. We felt like children, playful, careless, and open to new experiences. We arrived not knowing, curious, seeking to understand; to understand each other, ourselves, and how to proceed, seeking inspiration and new ways of working, of approaching research and knowledge formation. We had 48 hours to explore and share our practices and concernes. What can be accomplished in 48 hours? In 48 hours, you can recharge and reconnect. In 48 hours, you can connect to humans and the more-than-human through pedagogical and artistic practices, discussions, and play; in silence, in darkness, in light, on land, in water, in forest, in the rain, in the sun, together, alone, inside, outside, through smell, touch and taste. In 48 hours, you can get nourished physically, intellectually, and spiritually to last for a journey that will take you through challenges and changes. This publication gathers echoes of midnight walks, forest bathing, swimming, and sauna – of being visible and invisible. It holds traces from shared experiences, magical moments, quiet contemplations, and deep wisdom.
