In October 2023 Cemore hosted the 鈥楻ocky Futures鈥 conference theme for the 21st Annual Conference of the International Association for the History of Transport, Traffic and Mobility (T虏M) organised by T2M and the Academy of Mobility Humanities at Konkuk University.

We were delighted to host Professor Tim Edensor鈥檚 keynote lecture titled 鈥楽ensory and Affective Engagements with Stone鈥 which set the agenda for our discussions of rocky futures. Exploring three themes the presentation discusses the affective impact of stone in urban contexts and how it changes the sensory experience of mobility within the city, the intimate engagements and movements of skilled practitioners working with stone, and the way in which stone markings haunt the city with histories and traces of mobility. 聽

The full video recording of his talk is now available here.
