Join Dr Jennifer Crouch in a two-part research and experimental zine workshop that invites you to explore KEYSTONE SPECIES and ecology

Keystone species are creatures that play a crucial role in holding ecosystems together. When they are removed, they can cause a ‘trophic cascade’ - trophic refers to the food web. A trophic cascade is an ecological phenomenon where changes such as adding or removing a species triggers chain reactions such as local extinctions, over consumption of vegetation resulting in soil degradation, erosion or flooding.

Starting with selected readings from multiple sources, we will encounter different keystone species alongside texts from the critical posthumanities, critical mineral studies, ecology, situated knowledges and queer feminist science studies.... ˚₊‧꒰ა ☆ ໒꒱ ‧₊˚

⟡ Session 1: Collaging reading/ drawing, mapping and collating ⟡

Create research pages that bring together your thoughts and reflections on keystone species through reading, cutting, drawing and collage. These will be printed over the coming weeks by Jennifer on a variety of paper types and colours for use in session 2- original pieces will be available for collection from the 27th June on wards (by session 2)
