Event: Queering Decay: Thinking with Dead Wood @ONCA Online, Tue 6 Dec, 6.30pm-8.00pm.

How could we re-compose decomposition as a site of hot transformation? How might rot be a detonator of possibility? Join me for an evening gathering thinking-with dead wood as a guide for co-flourishing in ruinous times of profound loss as part of ONCA Brighton’s annual Lost Species Day programme. We’ll use the processes of decay and decomposition associated with dead wood as a conduit for queer/ying inherited concepts of life/death binaries; troubling the concept of “wasted” bodies and leaking out of the “self-made” individual amongst other fragments of wisdom. For Lost Species Day we take a moment to honour an overlooked and biodiverse ecology whilst “staying with the trouble” and finding generative stories of renewal. This will be an interactive session with discussion and the last public workshop I deliver this year- come cosy up with us online!
