On 27th-29th May 2021 Environmental Racism is Garbage: Virtual Research-Creation & Art Symposium took place online.
This wonderful and important event was supported by a Seed Box grant from Mistra-Formas Environmental Humanities Collaboratory, the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada, Waste Flow (www.wasteflow.ca) and Queen’s University.
Here comes the (shortened) description from the symposium’s website:
The aim of this interactive virtual research-creation and art symposium is to bear modest witness to waste as a symptom of environmental racism. […] Environmental Racism is Garbage seeks knowledge production and acts of resistance at the intersection of art, politics, and the relationship between racialized injustice and ecological crisis. We’ve invited contributions and collaborations from visual and performance-based artists, curators, theorists and activists, to create submissions that engage with the interconnections between environmental health, socio-economic conditions, racialized discrimination, social justice – with transdisciplinary work driven by creative inquiry and lived experience forefronted.
I had a pleasure and honour to speak in the panel focused on Ecological Grief which took place on 26th May. In case you missed it, feel free to check out the recording of the panel (along with many other fascinating talks and panels) available until May 2022 on the symposium’s YouTube channel and website.
Podcast ‘Den föränderliga människan’ (in Swedish)
Recently I have had a pleasure to take part in a podcast ‘Den föränderliga människan’ focused on art and posthumanism, and produced by Svenska YLE (Swedish-speaking Finnish Radio).
In order to listen to the programme click here
Here comes a little blurb from YLE’s website:
Transhumanism ser teknologin som människans räddning. Medan posthumanismen säger att vi ska försöka se bortom det individuella och se på människan som en del av naturen och teknologin. Men varför är just trans- och posthumanism viktiga för att förstå världen av idag? Och hur formar de konsten och påverkar konstnärens arbete? Medverkar gör konstnärerna Elmer Bäck, Annika Tudeer och Magdalena Åberg och forskaren Marietta Radomska. Ljuddesign och klipp Mike Grönroos, producent Johanna Dikert, redaktör Johanna Grönqvist.

Whatever. A Transdisciplinary Journal of Queer Theories and Studies (https://whatever.cirque.unipi.it/) is inviting submissions for short contributions (500-2000 words) to be collected in a multi-authored article entitled “What do we talk about when we talk about queer death?”. The article will introduce the themed section Queer thanatologies (edited by A.C. Corradino, C. Dell’Aversano, R. Langhi and M. Petricola) that will appear in Whatever’s next issue in summer 2021.
Queer death studies has recently emerged as a transdisciplinary field of inquiry investigating the cultural performances related to death, dying, grief, and disposal from the perspective of queer theory, defined as a hermeneutical stance whose premises could be summed up as follows: «queer states that any construction of identity (including LGBT ones) is a performance constituting a subject which does not “exist” prior to it, and encourages to bring into being (both as objects of desire, of fantasy…
