Description

Life on this planet began microbially. Multicellular life emerged through microbial symbiosis, and continues to expand through interdependence and co-metabolic relations. Yet, much of modern human society seems to have defaulted to a way of being that disaggregates the very structures supporting life; that is defuturing. Language, and the way we use it, has intimate consequences to our behaviours and values. By drawing inspiration from the entangled microbial and planetary relations, and interweaving pluriversal design methods, this workshop seeks to develop Microbial Poetics as a way to reimagine communication and a method for refuturing.
