Kim, Anna Marazuela and Scarso, Jacek Ludwig (2024) Placemaking, performance and infrastructures of belonging: the role of ritual healing and mass cultural gatherings in the wake of trauma. In: Trauma Informed Placemaking. Routledge, Abingdon, pp. 263-275. ISBN 9781032443102
In the spirit of this project to develop a dynamic community of praxis, the authors have decided to frame their contribution to this volume as a dialogue rather than a univocal essay, keeping the commitment to posing theory against practice, and bringing a new voice, that of an artistic researcher- practitioner, into the discussion.
In what follows, Dr Anna Marazuela Kim (AMK) provides a wide- ranging introduction to explore the potential of mass cultural gatherings in the healing of societal traumas, specifically as they invoke placemaking in the absence of place – a dynamic which forms a new contribution to the literature on this topic. This is followed by Dr Jacek Ludwig Scarso’s (JLS) presentation of a case study, Artichoke’s Sanctuary (2022) (Figure 23.1), this is intended as an example to apply our considerations, in that it both reflects and challenges notions of placemaking in trauma- informed practice. Lastly, an exchange of ideas between the two authors provides a series of reflections highlighting both the poignancy and complexity of addressing trauma through ephemeral, artistic placemaking.
