Join us to celebrate three new publications emerging from Rewilding Cultures as the project comes to an end 

Over the last four years Rewilding Cultures has supported the work of the Feral Labs Network, giving Bioart Society and our partners in the network the resources to develop our Feral Labs, residency programmes and other activities in situated yet interconnected ways. 

Bioart Society’s eighth feral lab, Field_Notes: Living Methodologies, took place at Kilpisjärvi Biological Station in Gilbbesjávri, Sápmi, in September 2025, exploring through collective interdisciplinary research how our methods matter. A year on, we are launching two reflective texts commissioned from contributors: Fielding Climate Change: A Cranky Score For (One’s Politics Of) Curiosity by Anastasia (A) Alevtin & Elina Waage Mikalsen, and Living Methodologies – what enters the field with us? by Marjolijn Dijkman & Sam Nightingale.

Alongside these, we will host a Helsinki launch for Feral Labs Node Book #3: Fa Fa Futures, the newest publication in the Feral Labs series developed within the Rewilding Cultures project, co-edited by Dalila Honorato, Iakovos Panagopoulos, Tina Dolinšek and Uros Veber.

Together, these three publications open up different perspectives on how we enter the field, how we build relationships with places and more-than-human worlds, and how artistic research can create spaces for reflection, learning, and co-creation.

The evening will include readings from the authors and will be broadcast on OOO Radio. We look forward to gathering with you in SOLU space and via the airwaves to celebrate these achievements which will continue to influence our work (and hopefully yours) beyond the project. 

Fieding Climate Change: A Cranky Score For (One’s Politics Of) Curiosity 
Anastasia (A) Alevtin & Elina Waage Mikalsen
Designed and printed by Roby Redgrave / Fantasy Print House
Available as an open access PDF and limited edition risograph pamphlet (print run of 100 copies)

In Fielding Climate Change: A Cranky Score For (One’s Politics Of) Curiosity Anastasia (A) Alevtina and Elina Waage Mikalsen explore curiosity as a political and affective force that shapes how we encounter places, people, materials, and knowledge. 

Developed in the context of the Ars Bioarctica residency in Gilbbesjávri, Sápmi, the publication takes the form of a pocket companion – a portable score that can accompany (not only residency participants but) anyone engaging with fieldwork, artistic research, or situated practices and reflecting practices and ethical relations of fieldworking. Drawing from their intersecting Sámi and crip perspectives, the authors question extractive and colonial ways of approaching fields and knowledge, and invite readers to slow down, notice, and tend to the relationships, needs, infrastructures, and material conditions that shape their practices. Rather than offering instructions, the cranky score opens up space for curiosity, reflection, and thinking otherwise about how we enter, inhabit, and work with(in) a field.

Living Methodologies - what enters the field with us?
Marjolijn Dijkman & Sam Nightingale
Available as an open access PDF

In Living Methodologies - what enters the field with us? Marjolijn Dijkman and Sam Nightingale explore how (their) personal and embodied experiences are entangled with fieldwork across different sites, contexts, and disciplines (in which they work). The conversation between Dijkman and Nightingale began during Field_Notes, where they found a safe and generous environment to explore these aspects of their lives and practices. The resulting exchange opens up questions about what we bring with us into the field, and how lived experience shapes the ways we work, observe, and relate to the worlds around us. 

Feral Labs Node Book #3: Fa Fa Futures
Available as an open access PDF and paperback (print run of 600 copies)

Co-edited by Dalila Honorato, Iakovos Panagopoulos, Tina Dolinšek, and Uros Veber, the book brings together artists, researchers, curators, educators, technologists, and cultural practitioners exploring the notion of “ferality” through artistic research, situated practices, ecological thinking, feminist methodologies, decolonial perspectives, biotechnology, pedagogy, infrastructure, mobility, and more-than-human relations.

Contributors include: Dalila Honorato, Iakovos Panagopolous, Ewen Chardronnet, Chelsea Coon, Sergey Dmitriev, Tina Dolinšek, Martyna Groth, Emma Hallemans, Steffan Jones Hughes, WhiteFeather Hunter, Veroniki Korakidou, Rita de Almeide Leite, Matheus de Rocha Montanari, Prathima Muniyappa, Sabina Oroshi, Andrew Gryf Paterson, Irene Posch, Anna Isaak-Ross, Mario Savini, Maja Smrekar, Clare Stott, Camila Torralbo, Uroš Veber, Sophia Vrioni and Adam Zaretsky.

Feral Labs Node Book #3: Fa Fa Futures was developed within the framework of Rewilding Cultures (Creative Europe, 2022–2026), a collaborative project of the Feral Labs Network connecting Projekt Atol (Slovenia), Bioart Society (Finland), Cultivamos Cultura (Portugal), The Culture Yard (Denmark), Makery (France), Radiona (Croatia), Schmiede Hallein (Austria) and Ionian University / InArts Lab (Greece).
