Queer Ecologies Research Collective III | August 18-24, 2025

$1,400.00

1-week session

In its third annual gathering at Mildred’s Lane, the Queer Ecologies Research Collective (QuERC) resumes its investigations of embodied and performative research methods in pursuit of creative entanglement and co-evolution. This year, ancient mystery rites and esoteric practices of the Surrealists provide a mytho-historical frame through which to explore the accessibility and legibility of knowledge, its power to define social and ontological standards, and its potential to disrupt the transhistorical status quo. This week-long session decomposes hierarchies between traditional academic work, social practice, and performative pedagogy as participants contribute to an emergent syllabus. The QuERC will continue to identify key terms and concepts within the dynamic framework of queer ecologies, contributing to the ongoing collective QuERC publication, “A Glossary for Queer Ecologies.” A virtual symposium will present the findings of the QuERC to a wider public.
