Over
In the second instalment of A Series of More-Than-Human Encounters we are inviting researchers, activists and artists in a three-day-programme to explore the meaning and potential of justice in a multi-species post-imperialist world. Should we confer fundamental rights to animals and natural formations - such as lakes, the seas, rainforests and the soil? What can historical, present-day and future human and more-than-human alliances of resistance teach us? How are the worldwide decolonial struggles related to the global and local struggles for the live, safety and autonomy of non-human animals?SCHEDULE20:00 – Welcome20:05 – Animals in a more-than-human legality by Eva Bernet Kempers20:15 – ‘Voices of the Dunes’ by The Dunes of Schouwen-Duiveland20:25 – ‘Is representation enough?’ by Darko Lagunas20:35 – Round table discussion with Eva Bernet Kempers, Darko Lagunas and The Dunes of Schouwen-Duiveland, moderated by Olave Nduwanje21:05 – 21:30 – Q&A with the Zoom-audience• Eva Bernet Kempers (1993) studied cultural anthropology, green criminology, and environmental law at Utrecht University.
