Future Natures at POLLEN22/3: comics and talks

Comics produced in collaboration with Future Natures will be on display at the POLLEN22/3 conference, 27-29 June 2023. Selected panels from the comics, illustrated by Tim Zocco, will be shown as part of a wider exhibition.

Our coordinator Amber Huff will be a speaker in two ‘indaba’ plenary sessions: Political Ecology: North, South and Beyond, and Situating Labor in Biodiversity Conservation.

POLLEN22/3 is the biannual conference of the Political Ecology Network (POLLEN). This year’s in-person event was postponed from 2022 and is being held in Durban, South Africa. You can view the full programme on the conference website.

Future Natures at POLLEN22/3: comics and talks

Comic: Future Natures

Introductory comic from Future Natures about modern crises and the radical potential of commoning.

‘Sedentist’ bias and the pastoral commons

Pastoralists are often marginalised from common land and resources, even by policies that claim to help them. Policies are based on a bias towards fixed, formalised land ownership.

On the Promise of the Commons

In this podcast episode, Vandana Shiva tells the story of historical struggle against colonialism and neoliberal capitalism that involves the commodification of seeds. She explains how re-commoning of seeds is a defence of a shared ecological and human diversity.

Comic: Weird Ecologies

Comic about the radical potential of ‘weird ecologies’ to affect people’s views of nature.
