Edited by Azucena Castro

Futuros Multiespecie explores the ways in which various contemporary artistic practices forge relationships between humans and non-humans in the face of climate-related futures, with a focus on Latin America.

Through a journey that includes the sounds of disappearing landscapes in Colombia, weavings for birds in Patagonia, and images of Pacific salmon skeletons, artists, researchers, educators and curators offer new methods of inquiry into the links between forms of life and non-life on a planet scarred by extractive and neocolonial violence. The diverse essays and artistic and curatorial interventions activate the multispecies perspective as an aesthetic and political alternative for futures that summon the ancestral and the non-human against the imaginaries of climate catastrophism.
