A Space For Time

A Space For Time is a research project investigating space, time and objects to prompt and facilitate philosophical inquiry. Experimentation takes the form of different teatimes which make use of the tableware, eatables and ritual procession to introduce and unfold different ideas and discussion. Topics of the teatimes range from: Heidegger's idea of the Nothing giving meaning to our lives to how we can thinking differently and more analytically about problems in our everyday lives. A portable suitcase enables the teatime project to travel and explore different places and audiences.
