On 23rd March 2023, seven speakers and almost forty members of the audience have gathered at the Museum of Work in Norrköping for “Ecologies of Death, Ecologies of Mourning. Vol. I: An International Symposium“. The event was the first in the series of activities focused on critical and creative approaches to grief and mourning in a more-than-human context of the planetary environmental disruption and ecological crises.
The symposium was organised by The Eco- and Bioart Lab, in collaboration with Queer Death Studies Network.
Furthermore, the event was combined with the official launch of the four-year research project Ecological Grief, Crisis Imaginaries and Resilience in Nordic Lights (2022-26), led by Dr Marietta Radomska and generously funded by FORMAS: a Swedish Research Council for Sustainable Development.
Here we would like to bring some memories from the event – check out a short video recap – filmed and produced by Per Wistbo Nibell (Linköping University):

Finally, we also have a little slideshow of photos from this thought-provoking and truly inspiring event. See below.
