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 2: zine making and experimental formats ⟡

Using the printed.photocopied collages from session 1, we will create zines using simple book binding processes and apply folds, stitches and inserts to create experimental formats to create a collective zine collection. This second workshop takes place during London Climate Week and by the end of the session, each person taking part will have an zine containing our collective research created using different book binding formats, fold-outs and inserts.
