QueerrRing Ecologies
Performative approaches  within and around bodies of water and waterscapes
BIP, Erasmus+ Programme
16-20.03.2026, Volos

The 3rd BIP, the concluding part of the QueerrRing Ecologies call, will be held from March 16-20, 2026 in Volos. Following the first two parts held in Bordeaux and Brussels in 2023 and 2025 respectively, the workshop explores a re-examination of the natural world and all its structures through queer ecologies. Acknowledging that we are living in a period which is characterized by the critical diminishment and loss of refugia, the stance and processes we engage along our creative trail during the workshop will follow bodies of water, protected woodland ecosystems; whilst approaching communities which have been in synergy with other-than-human entities.

Methodologies for approaching other than-human bodies of water shall entail experiential mapping through walking and in-situ performative processes.  The methodology aims at bridging the gap between performance, craftwork, draft/map; through a plethora of different scales, to understand our body into space and time. Expected outcomes may comprise investigations of habitat and refugee, non-anthropocentric and de-colonizing approach towards cultures and the landscape they are/were inscribed within.
