XenoEntities Network (XEN) is excited to be hosting their 12th "Assemblage" event at SPACE10 in Copenhagen. On November 13th, XEN will examine pertinent ecological questions in Assemblage #12: Rethinking Ecological Practices.

The sixth mass extinction or Anthropocene extinction is an ongoing extinction event of species during the present epoch as a result of human activity. This discussion will move between references evoked by this, raising questions about correlationism, nonhuman(/object)-oriented-ontologies, and global warming (as opposed to climate change), drawing relevant references in multinaturalism, decolonial relations, and alternative kin structures. XEN will also share a short film titled Can the Sun Lie? by Susan Schuppli as well as images from Johannes Paul Raether's Transformalor witch-character.

XenoEntities Network’s "Assemblages" are free-access discussion and research gatherings where participants propose topics and ideas for a specific theme. This time, together with the audience, XenoEntities Network will identify and reconsider the hegemonic norms that might prevail in discourses around ecology and nature while proposing a queer alternative to normative truths. Guests should feel free to bring ideas, but direct participation is not enforced nor necessary.
