How we can think, research, document, and narrate the animal world beyond anthropocentrism? The three guests will present projects and experiences that relate to this question from different perspectives and fields: art history and curatorship (Regine Rapp), visual arts and game design (Constanza Mendoza) and academic research (Amanda Crompton). An open and informal discussion with the moderator, FRACTO curators and the audience will follow the presentations.

The evening event on May 25 features a live music performance by Ongon (Berlin premiere) and a dj Set by Unprofessional. Ongon is a recently started solo project by the multi instrumentalist Antonio Bertoni, where ancestral sonorities meet electronica, trance, jazz and psychedelia. Unprofessional produces sound between experimentation and hardcore techno, she recently released an EP on Forbidden planets, and a mixtape of hers has been featured in Alienata’s radio show.
