Gathering our Fractured Futures

Co-Curator of Feral Atlas: The More-Than-Human Anthropocene, Co-Founder of Miyarrka Media and Professor of Digital Humanities Charles Darwin University
Introduced and Q&A by Distinguished Professor Larissa Hjorth.
This keynote explores the special conviviality of thinking, worrying, and making together in times of escalating uncertainty and peril. As the futures that some of us once took for granted fracture and burn, new coalitions of researchers are emerging to challenge disciplinary and institutional conventions, motivated by a shared conviction that scholarship itself must change in response to the stakes of contemporary life. By turning to the dynamically interactive zones of computer screens, speakers, and the click-and-scroll haptics of online navigation, publications such as Feral Atlas and curatorium pursue a collective recalibration of our senses and a renewed attention to the arts of making sense in troubled times.
