More-than-human story-making symposium
This symposium explores how we might make stories with and about the more-than-human. It brings together artists, scholars, filmmakers and scientists to consider storytelling practices that engage with nonhuman presences, agencies, and materials. Examples include animals, plants, waste, and digital and tactile objects such as a crochet coverlet and the only book ever printed in Antarctica. The event asks how stories can be made through more-than-human entanglements, and what this means for research, practice, and collaboration across disciplines.
The event programme and booking link will be available shortly.
