Le 26/06, à 15h20, j’aurai l’occasion d’intervenir dans le séminaire (Post)Extractivism and ecological controversies in design research. Mon intervention portera sur la recherche que je mène sur les lichens en tant qu’indicateur de la qualité de l’air dans le contexte proposé par le séminaire.
26.06/ 01.07.2025 Rue du Lombard 34/42 1000 Brussels Conference
The international seminar proposes a space for dialogue and exploratory practice between academics and researchers, focused on sharing emerging approaches and methods in interdisciplinary research, with an emphasis on analyzing territories and communities affected by extractivism or facing ecological controversies
Through presentations, workshops and site visits, the seminar will critically examine the concepts of extractivism and ecological controversies from diverse perspectives, addressing the complex interactions that occur across multiple scales and species, encompassing both human and more-than-human communities. The seminar is open to research contributions using different methodologies (such as ethnography, cartographic experimentation, co-creative method, etc.) to understand how human/more than human collectives engage with extractivism and ecological controversies.

Mapping Material Extractivism and Soil Ecosystems
This session engages with emerging methodologies to critically understand and map the intricate entanglements of extractivism and soil ecosystems across spatial and temporal scales. Contributions grounded in urbanism advance innovative theoretical frameworks and cartographic practices to conceptualize and represent the ongoing transformation of (post-)extractivist territories through archival exploration and other forms of living expression.
