Join us tonight for Lucy Sollitt (previously Creative Director of FutureEverything) in conversation with Ami Clarke. Thursday 21st May 7-9pm.
What does it mean to “meet the lough on its own terms”?
And what role do art and technology play in this?
Join Lucy Rose Sollit and Ami Clarke for a conversation exploring this question in context of Ami’s artwork that emphasises a more-than-human: symbiotic approach, and Nature Directed an initiative devised and implemented by Lucy while Creative Director of FutureEverything, which rethinks creative and organisational workflows so that the Web of Life is an active participant and decision-maker.
The conversation will look at how art and curatorial practices can be adapted to support the urgent work of reconnection and repair with our more-than-human kin, and the questions that emerge along the way - from who speaks for Nature and how, to how we interpret the myriad ways in which Nature “speaks” itself, and how we find a balance between human and more-than-human interests.
The talk is part of the Systems Collapse: Symbiotic Relations talks and workshops that emphasise ‘thinking through together’ how art can provide and support alternative visions and methodologies to germinate, that encourage a de-centring of the human (not de-valuing), decolonial, eco-feminist, and posthuman/more-than-human position to flourish, whilst nurturing radical new ways for rethinking sustainability.
