Pathways for Art and Transdisciplinary Collaboration in Ecosocial Change
11–12 September 2026
International Conference hosted by the Centre for Art and Ecology, Goldsmiths, University of London.
Doing Ecology Otherwise addresses the imaginative, sensory, material and embodied capacities of art to address urgent ecological challenges. Drawing on essential insights from Natasha Myers and Lola Olufemi on the potentiality of imagining and acting ‘otherwise’, the conference explores how art can hold space for new understandings, practices, relations and structures of feeling that may be marginalized in mainstream scientific and environmental action.

Ama Josephine Budge Johnstone and Emilie Glazer
Waterways: Arteries,Rhythms and Kinship was a three-day symposium exploring how water binds us across histories and futures. Organised by Hyundai Tate Research Centre: Transnational in partnership with Hyundai Motor, the event ran from 18 to 20 October 2024, with a two-day conference at Tate Modern followed by a day of workshops delivered by the artists Taey Iohe, Jumana Emil Abboud and Julie Gough at sites across London. In Part 1 of this review, Ama Josephine Budge Johnstone reflects on the conference and Julie Gough’s workshop, The Mire, at Bankside Pier; in Part 2, Emilie Glazer discusses Taey Iohe’s Messengers and Jumana Emil Abboud’s Your reflection on the gentle sea, both at Walthamstow Wetlands, east London.
Writing Our Legacy
This talk will offer an insight into Dr. Ama Josephine Budge Johnstone’s intradisciplinary research around the topic of Intimate Ecologies, a framework for holding together Blackness, ecology, pleasure and queer futurity.

Mimosa House, London
While parenting and care have gained visibility as subject matter in contemporary art, little has changed structurally for the artists who live these experiences. This book launch marks 13 years of grassroots cultural work at the intersection of art & care, and an opportunity to both celebrate the change made over the last decade, and amplify its impact by continuing cross-sector collaborations and bringing to the public works that address care both as subject and as infrastructure: a reference for new ways of gathering, how artists and audiences participate, at what hours and in what formats.
