The queerfeminist collective Rheinische Sektion der Kompostistischen Internationale invites you to a joint visit to the exhibition followed by a creative workshop.
We will address the question posed by the exhibition: "Which healing for which earth?" What can it mean to speak of "healing" in times of climate change, ongoing colonial violence and the rise of far-right positions? How can we inhabit and shape these uncertain times together?
In a creative and speculative writing session, we explore what it might mean to care for possible futures on a damaged planet. Following the traces of many worlds in this world, we will venture speculative thought experiments: What futures do we want to advocate for? For whom or what is "healing" (not) possible?
To the collective:
The Rhenish Section of the Compostist International is a transdisciplinary collective of artists, researchers and academics that deals with queerfeminist new materialisms, among other things. Following the feminist historian of science and biologist Donna Haraway, we understand compost as an attempt to develop new practices of knowledge production and world-making that reject the centrality of 'the human' and ask about possible practices of living and dying in and with more-than-human world(s).
