Shared Worlds: Imagining Multispecies Futures
Lecture by Prof. Jessica Ullrich, Kunstakademie Münster, Editor of 'Tierstudien' Publication, as part of the symposium re-story-ation: Artistic Research and More-Than-Human Relationalities on May 7, 2026 at HFBK Hamburg.
Shared Worlds: Imagining Multispecies Futures
Shared Worlds explores how contemporary art functions as an experimental space for imagining and testing utopian futures beyond anthropocentrism. Art is framed as a speculative practice that challenges the status quo and anticipates alternative forms of coexistence with nonhuman animals. Through historical and contemporary case studies the lecture examines how art envisions, rehearses, and sometimes realizes multispecies communities. Central to the discussion are questions of animal personhood, agency, radical hospitality, and feminist ethics of care. The talk proposes an expanded concept of art that takes nonhuman aesthetic practices seriously and recognizes animals as collaborators and co-creators of worlds.
