Event Recording
Format: Interdisciplinary Wild Cities Panel and Walk
A panel that roams, tracing the human and more-than-human entanglements of what lies beneath the city and its culture/natures. Artistic intervention, speculative proposition, community discussion—this live/digital event takes place in and between the cultural spaces of the Collingwood Yards and Collingwood Underground Carpark, inviting the audience into an experience of the city’s metaphoric and literal subterranea. What happens when climate action goes underground? How do government and industry agendas reverberate beneath our feet? What are the wild undercurrents and hidden infrastructures coursing all around—how do we encounter feral ecologies, contaminated creativity and stray ethics? And how do we make space for conversations and rituals that create the conditions for regeneration and wild life?
