Overview

Feminist Responses to Climate Change: Unruly experimentations for unstable times is a suite of newly commissioned work by emerging and established artists responding to anthropocentric crisis in unruly ways. Forging new research practices to extend reparative possibilities for alternative climate futures via multispecies worldings, what has emerged are a set of ethical propositions for living well together in these uncertain times. A project of The Ediths, the exhibition shares work developed across three Western Australian research collaboratories: Water, Weather, and Waste. The EDITHS are a feminist interdisciplinary research collective based at ECU’s School of Education, and co-founded in 2019 by Professor Mindy Blaise, Dr Jane Merewether, Dr Jo Pollitt, and Vanessa Wintoneak. As a research collective, The Ediths attend to feminist criticality through creative projects, activities, and events that respond ethically to the worlds we are all a part of.

This exhibition is made possible by the Vice Chancellor’s Professorial Research Fellow appointment of Mindy Blaise
