Reframing (Viti)Cultural Landscapes develops and mobilizes a cohesive approach to sustainable vineyards and wineries.
It will be done through knowledge-sharing workshops, drawing from traditional irrigation knowledge, usages of the earth and gravity to reduce energy expenditures and environmental demands for cooling and production, and the development of bioclimatic architectural design implementations to reduce energy and water consumption and to provide protective shade to both vines and harvest workers. Workshops will revitalize heritage and tradition by proposing ecological solutions for the longevity of vineyards with demonstrations such as intercropping, decaying plant carpets, or modifiable design implementation. By engaging wine-makers, community members, architects, landscape designers, heritage and tourism experts, and policy-makers, this solution builds cross-border dialogues, mobilize economically and environmentally viable methods for wine production and tourism, and encourage collaborations to tackle the challenges facing the wine industry posed by rapid climate change and extractive economic pressures to standardize.

Justyna is a research assistant at Utrecht University and has a media and culture studies background. After completing her bachelor’s degree in art history with a specialisation in Arts, Media and Society at Leiden University, she continued with a research master’s in Media, Art and Performance Studies at Utrecht University. She worked as a research assistant in the research project IMAGINE: Contested Futures of Sustainability based at Consumption Research Norway (SIFO), in which she researched social imaginaries of sustainable consumption across various textual, visual and audial materials (including films, novels, and policy reports based in Oslo and Norway). She is now part of the CONVIVIUM project, in which she researches community gardening initiatives through ‘The Open Garden’ solution. Interested in the intersection between media, art (science fiction film in particular), ecology, material culture, philosophy and social imaginaries of technology, she works with perspectives from the arts and humanities and advocates them as crucial to rethink notions and issues based on other research fields, including food consumption.
