Playing Posthumanism: Choose Your Habitat

  • Glasgow Zine Library 32-34 Albert Road Glasgow, Scotland, G42 8DN United Kingdom (map)

Please note: this event will be held in person.

Join us as we co-create habitats for unruly critters in a playful exploration of symbiosis, shapeshifting, and convergence. Building upon the playing cards developed in the first Playing Posthumanism workshop, participants will experiment with ideas from Lynn Margulis and Dorian Sagan’s concept of the "supercosm". Together, we’ll dive into the possibilities of posthumanist worldbuilding, composing speculative spaces that celebrate the unruly and the interconnected.

Please note: we can only issue refunds requested 72 hours before the workshop begins.
