Multispecies Storytelling: Lost and Threatened Places

Join us for an evening celebrating stories that cross species boundaries. 

Curated by Andrew Burrell (UTS Visualisation Institute) the event will include readings and performances by Andrew Burrell, Andrew van der Westhyzen, Blake Lawrence, Lizzy Nagy, Peter Minter, Vanessa Berry and Zoë Sadokierski, an exhibition of creative works from the UTS Visualisation Institute, with drinks and snacks provided. 

This event is part 'Storytelling for Lost and Threatened Places', an environmental humanities symposium which explores how place-based stories shape our understanding of, and responses to, the biodiversity and climate crises. The symposium is organised by Thom van Dooren, Kirsten Wehner, Cameron Muir, Andrea Gaynor, Zoë Sadokierski, and Natalie Osborne.
