We would cordially like to invite you to the launch of the essay collection Speculative Ecologies: Plotting Through the Mesh (Litteraria Pragensia Books, 2019), featuring lectures and a live podcast.

The evening will be conceived as an open session discussing the topics provoked by the book, namely the ongoing specter of climate change, the role of art and making for the mitigation of its effects, and the position of contemporary philosophical theory on the environmental problems (and solutions) at hand.

The schedule is as follows:

17.00 – Introduction to Speculative Ecologies

17.10 – Kateřina Kovářová: Technology at the Service of Environmental Ethics

18.30 – Paul Chaney: Towards Appropriate Accelerationism?

20.00 – Panel discussion with Louis Armand, Paul Chaney, Seb Chum, Xenogoth, @baroquespiral and the audience

21.00 – sounds by TL;DR

Moderator: Vít Bohal

The event is kindly supported by the Agosto Foundation, who are also launching their ongoing series Speculative Ecologies: The Fertile Ground Between Art and Ecologyas part of their media library.
