MORE-THAN-HUMAN/ITIES: INTERDISCIPLINARY
COLLABORATIONS, MULTIAGENTIAL WORLDS
A joint venture between the Faculty of Environmental and Urban Change and the Centre for Environmental Humanities, this online seminar series highlights exciting new arts and humanities research considering diverse forms of life and nonlife as collectively shaping past, present and future worlds.
Join Isla Gladstone, Lisa Myers and Alice Would as they explore creating curatorial worlds with animals and plants.
How do art and wildlife coexist and collide in museum settings, historically and in the present? What role do animals and plants, both living and dead, play in natural history production, display and curatorship? How can Anishinaabe understandings of more-than-human relatives, and of time as lived in relationships, ground and shape curatorial practice? How might paying attention to small exchanges between beings in these settings help us consider big questions about colonialism, extinction and the Anthropocene?
