Material, Economics & Ecology shares the interdisciplinary practice-research of five Guest Speakers whose work contributes to contemporary dialogues concerning human and non-human ecologies, labour, trade and material resources.
About
As a place of material, economic and ecological significance, Derby’s former Silk Mill has been chosen as a significant place to hold the event: a former factory which sits at the southern end of the UNESCO Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site.
Guest Speakers: Dr. Onya McCausland, Rafael Pérez Evans, Laura Wilson, Sonia Levy & Ravi Agarwal
To open the symposium, a Welcome Address will be given by Tony Butler, the Executive Director at Derby Museums. A Q&A chaired by Dr. Victoria Sharples will follow presentations, and screenings of Jumana Manna’s award-winning documentary film Wild Relatives (2018) and Laura Wilson’s Deepening (2020) will be screened in the morning before the day’s proceedings.
Tickets for the screenings and symposium are free but need to be booked in advance. Refreshments will be available onsite at The River Kitchen and a cash bar in the Italian Mill will be open following the Q&A.
