Planetary Feminisms: Decoloniality, Ecological Thinking, Creative Praxis

Transhemispheric Dialogues

17 March 2023
A Hybrid Roundtable Event hosted by the Institute of Advanced Studies, Loughborough University

You are invited to a day of Transhemispheric Dialogues, bringing scholars, artists, curators and activists together across four ‘long-clock’ roundtables, to explore the transformative potential of planetary feminisms for decolonial, ecological thinking and creative praxis in many and more-than-human worlds.

Planetary feminisms mobilize the deep interconnections between decoloniality, intersectionality and eco-criticality, to re-imagine the human and (re-)make a world of many worlds.

Planetary feminisms engage trans-scalar ecological thinking and creative praxis to challenge anthropo- and Eurocentric fictions of epistemic totality, storying pluriversal worlds and worlding pluriversal stories.

Planetary feminisms initiate experimental ecologies of knowing, imagining and inhabiting, Earthwide and Otherwise, moving beyond mutual survival, towards pluriversal and interdependent flourishing.
