_Program highlights_
Keynote: *“Urban Planning and ‚Making Kin‘: Reflections on Multispecies
Environmental Justice in Spatial Planning”* by Sandra Huning (Technical
University Dortmund).
Talks: *“Climate (In)Justice in the Megacities of the Global South”* by
Farhana Sultana (Syracuse University).
Performance lecture and installation: *“Chuquicamata: Necropolitics and
Autopoiesis of a Mining City”* by Constanza Mendoza.
In the course of colonial-capitalist urbanization cities became the
‘engines of growth’ of a planet of cities and as such the engines of an
economic-ecological vicious circle. Here, economic and ecological
processes are increasingly devastatingly intertwined and mutually
reinforcing, causing, for example, pandemics, resource wars, and the
increasing violence of climate change. Meanwhile, the growing
instability of planetary eco-systems reveals that cities are
particularly vulnerable to the consequences of the very crises they
generate. How can we politicize the dual role of cities as both drivers
and ‘victims’ of the economic-ecological vicious circle? *How can we
reclaim and reinvent cities as infrastructures of both human and
other-than-human life? How can we connect urban and ecological
struggles?* Guided by these questions, the three-day “Kin City” event
aims to deepen and expand the critical engagement with the history and
continuity of colonial capitalist urbanization.
With Debora Darabi, Pepe Dayaw, Nelli Kambouri, Svjetlana Nedimović,
Claudia Núñez, Sara Petrolova, Christine Winter, Dzina Zhuk, and many more.
