This last session in our Series of More-Than-Human Encounters #2 was entirely devoted to oceanic storytelling in kinship with hydrofeminism. This form of feminism is particularly sensitive towards watery creatures and our solidarity with them. It is also inspired by music and song-making practice – songings –, believing them to be a means of interspecies community creation and resistance.

A Second Series of More-Than-Human Encounters #3: During this lecture, we will explore how human personhood has been constructed, and how it can be decentered and made to expand into different ways of seeing and being.

A Second Series of More-Than-Human Encounters #2: recent technological advancements have drastically altered (and accelerated) contemporary scientific insights into fungi. This lecture will uncover the dizzying multitude of relationships, opportunities and implications that fungi represent for life on our planet, and for our limited/growing body of knowledge on the intricate workings of the planet and the life it harbours.

A Second Series of More-Than-Human Encounters #1. During this evening we will focus on tendrilesque writing. What happens to human speech if vines enter our flesh, roots crawl through our veins, and we turn into hybrid plant monsters? What happens if we let plants speak through us and what kind of new language, new bits of knowledge and new worlds can emerge from there? We will explore these topics while focusing on the status of women, and their relation to plants, as presented in works of fiction in which the distinction between women and plants becomes blurry.
