Event details of (Re)Configuring More-than-human Normativities
Date
20 May 2022
Time
09:30 -16:30

The panel discussions will be followed by presentations from the Theory Hacks collective. This collective is composed of legal researchers specialised in environmental and digital humanities and tech-developers. Over 2021/2022, the Theory Hacks collective used the site of De Ceuvel and its phytoremediation process of toxic metals from the polluted soil through the Brassica plant as an entry door to work on Radical Contracting: How to Create Value Metabolisms? The outputs of the joint collaborations will be presented and discussed on site.

The event will be concluded with exhibitions and performances by experiential art collectives Marshmallow Laser Feast, Entangled Others Studio and CodeXDiagrams brought together by the Sovereign Nature Initiative in the Experimental Zone at De Ceuvel.
