Ecological Futurisms (EF), a new collective with the goal of exploring questions about our collective futures, is launching with an exciting March programme of exhibitions, talks and screenings.
EF is comprised of faculty and doctoral researchers from the Centre for Research and Education in Arts Media (CREAM). Through the lens of art, culture and sciences, it explores big global issues such as climate change, who it affects and to what extent, and how it is linked to historical lines in inequality.
Working in research networks across the Caribbean, North America, Europe and Southeast Asia, EF provides a platform for those from the cultural and academic sectors to develop updated modes of collaboration, both internally and with the sciences, to establish new forms of performative, time-based and on-line practises.
The March programme takes place at Ambika P3 – the University’s research space for international contemporary art and architecture. Highlights include:
- Radio Amnion transmission and conversations
- book launch of Sex Ecologies with curator Stefanie Hessler and artist Ann Duk Hee Jordan
- Animistic Apparatus screening programme exploring artists moving image as cosmological practices of communicating, relating and knowing
- A screening programme featuring works by Ukrainian artists Yarema Malashchuk and Roman Khimei, and media arts from Myanmar’s dynamic generation of young artists curated by Moe Myat May Zarchi
