Book Launch: Queer Flora, Fauna and Funga

More info & tickets

Join us for the presentation of 'Queer Flora, Fauna, and Funga': an eclectic and transdisciplinary anthology highlighting the sexual and gender diversity in nature.

Queer theory and natural history intersect through visual art and creative writing in this new publication. The book features roughly forty case studies that inspire us to reimagine the world and our place in it. Each contribution dives into questions such as: How does acknowledging the queerness of nature inspire us to compose the world otherwise? How can we rewrite history to make a place for ourselves in the story? And what is the role of an individual in a symbiotic community?

The arts, poetry, scientific and speculative writing spark this imagination and give readers tools to shape the world differently. 'Queer Flora, Fauna, and Funga' asks to expand our knowledge about sexual and gender diversity, and to reconsider our relationships with each other and our more-than-human companions in the natural world.

We will discuss the book with its editor, Frances Cannon, and contributor Erik Peters.

The event will be in English. Admission is free, but registration is required.
