To mark the launch of Hyphen Journal Issue 3.2: Ecologies, we invite you to a hybrid (in-person/online) colloquium. The issue explores expanded notions of ecology and interdependence, with contributions that critically engage with themes including human-bacterial relations, non-binary bodies and ice, women in decolonial anti-extractivist activism, the Covid pandemic as pandaemonium, photography and nitrogen-altered landscapes, synthetic sound ecologies, dwelling and consumer culture, more-than-human notions of film curation, and intersections between new materialist thought and particle physics, through both theoretical and practice-based approaches.

This colloquium will feature contributors to Issue 3.2, as well as the forthcoming Issue 4: Socio-ecological Practice, who will present and discuss their research.

The colloquium will be held as part of the University of Westminster’s Graduate School Festivall 2025 – Challenging Pasts / Critical Futures.
