ABOUT

Weaving Landscapes is an open-access, practice-based research fieldbook dedicated to tracing the intersections of ecology, vernacular culture, and community practices. Rooted in the methodologies of ethnography, landscape analysis, and participatory art, this archive maps empirical ecological knowledge and practice that sustain local landscapes. By intertwining fieldwork essays, open workshops, and seminars, Weaving Landscapes aimed to function as a vibrant network for understanding how human communities co-create ethics, cultural practices, arts, rituals, alternative economies, and resilience alongside more-than-human entities.

Founder and Editor-in-Chief

Yeong Ran Suh is an artistic researcher based in Copenhagen and Seoul. Suh has worked as a choreographer after earning an MFA in Choreography (KNUA) and has created multidisciplinary performances based on ethnographic research into Korean shamanism and traditional dance. After her MA in Religion from the University of Copenhagen (KU) and co-founding the Becoming Species group, she has cultivated multispecies thought and practice in collaboration with Nordic environmental movements and research groups including Sensing Old Ages, Vital Politics and Queer Ecology.


Her artistic research focuses on community-based village rituals amid modernist development in urban and rural areas. It questions how new economic infrastructure development transforms ritual practices and how ritual practices respond to this change, seeking to capture enduring decolonial practices and artistic interventions that counter the relational fragmentation of capitalism.
Through Weaving Landscapes, Ran, as a writer and editor, interweaves diverse local ecological knowledge and spreads it like winds, with the hope of planting a seed for alternative future communities that are resilient, caring, and sustainable.
