L-x Landscape Lectures // Matters of Care, Matters of Land

L-x Landscape Lectures 2025/26 turns its attention to care, in a moment marked by profound socio-ecological urgency. It is a term often used lightly in landscape discourse, yet carrying a depth that both steadies and unsettles. Care, in all its forms, threads through the work of shaping landscapes: caring for places, caring with others, caring as a way of reading and responding to the worlds we co-inhabit. These are familiar gestures in everyday practice, yet far from simple. They reveal how every landscape depends on ongoing acts of maintenance, relation, and response.
