The Presentations

Overview

The group met digitally once a month through the medium of Zoom. They started off by discussing common themes and exploring intersections amongst their work. Each member presented on their work, focusing on a particular object, creature or word in their research. Watch the presentations below to get insight into the group’s explorative and interdisciplanry approach.
