This autumn marked the official launch of the Centre for Art and Ecology, a day filled with stimulating talks, discussions, and activities led by members of the Centre and collaborators who have influenced its development. Highlights included: moving at a mycelial pace with Lenka Vráblíková, listening to The Singing Compost with Harun Morrison and Paul Granjon, John Little and Benny Hawksbee on brownfield sites and chaos ecology, exploring the joys and challenges of working with biomaterials with Claire Baily, and a conversation between Dr Nirmal Puwar and Dr Ros Gray on Puwar's concept of space invaders, plant and human migration, belonging and possibilities for co-existence, not to mention tasting a soil ice cream made from compost with co-director of the Kitchen Research Unit Dr Michael Guggenheim.
