Image: Frottage from the milestone along the Lancaster Canal/cemore/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/10223/n In June, I was lucky to be a visiting scholar at the Lancaster Institute for the Contemporary Arts (LICA) and the Centre for Mobilities Research (CEMORE). I am grateful to Lynne Pearce, Professor at the Department of English and Creative Writing and CEMORE/cemore/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/10223/u2019s Co-director, and Jen Southern, Senior Lecturer at LICA and Associate Director of the CEMORE who invited and welcomed me in Lancaster. This research stay was possible thanks to the financial support of the H. W. Donner Foundation Travel Grant./cemore/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/10223/n Upon my arrival, Jen welcomed and briefly showed me the LU Campus which is like a small town with many office and living buildings, cafes, shops, and even hairdressers. She also passed me the key from the CEMORE lab. I was thrilled when I unlocked the door and stepped inside the lab which I have heard about so much! /cemore/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/10223/n It was about five years ago when I first browsed the webpage of the Centre. I got so excited that I emailed the Centre introducing my artists practice and my proposal for a future PhD project. I received an encouraging response from Jen who soon after invited me to ARTMOBS newsletter through which I eventually found the PhD position in the PUTSPACE project. Now, I have submitted my thesis for the final defence and am grateful to think what role the Centre played in my career. That is why visiting the Centre and ¾Ã¾Ã¾«Æ· meant a lot for me./cemore/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/10223/u00a0/cemore/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/10223/n
