## Description

The Oslo Architecture Triennale announces an Open Call for experimental essays in collaboration with Metode. This call invites participants to contribute to "What if Waste" by exploring the concept of waste through artistic, academic, curatorial, or architectural practices. Applicants should submit a short pitch (max 500 words) detailing their approach to writing about, thinking about, and making sense of waste, especially in the context of an exhibition displaying transformed waste materials, ruins, and residues. Visual pitches (max one PDF page) are also welcome. The organizers encourage cohesive research frameworks driven by co-creation, close collaboration between theorists and practitioners, and experimental working methods. The deadline for applications is May 11, 2026.
