Join Jazmeen in a facilitated session, exploring the many threads connected to "queering ecologies", and how it can help us understand our realities as organisms in the many ecosystems we are grown within. "Queering", to Jazmeen, is an embodiment of doing, feeling, interacting, divesting, and dismantling, from the perspective of "othered" margins, spaces and people. In this session, we will be exploring and understanding how we interact with ecology and nature, and how we've been pushed into assuming and supporting realities and "norms", some of which are toxic, and some that erase many other organism perspectives, and "othered" folks, from natural history and ecology completely. Jazmeen will be using her understanding - built from research, lived experience as a racialised muslim trans woman, and her own present reality - of queering ecology, to unearth the questions, and reimaginations that we already have within us, and facilitate us to a place where we can utilise these tools to dismantle and reconstruct futures and realities...we will also delve into the realms of critical ecology, interdisciplinary ecology, decolonial theory, anti-oppression frameworks...and link it all to insect worlds and bug bodies.

Queering is as much about understanding bug bodies as it is about racialised trans peoples rights, and as much about land and access as it is about body and reproductive body agency...so let's discuss it all, or at least draw something whilst we chat, walk, and sit with the ecosystems around us.

Due to the limited capacity of this workshop, kindly inform us if you are unable to attend. This will allow us to offer your spot to someone on the waiting list. Please avoid not showing up on the day. These types of workshops are in high demand and provide great value to our community.
