Practice is a site where inquiry and technique, ontics and
epistemics, experimentation and formalization, and creativity and
repetition converge. This invites the critical cultivation of

sedimented relations that make up what and how we know and do.
How might practices be unsettled? What makes a practice
unsettling?
