“Living things form complex, ambivalent relationships, sometimes involving opposition, sometimes antagonism<\/a>, sometimes mutualism. This allows us to imagine differently the rich range of relationships we can have with the rest of living things.” (Baptiste Morizot, interview in Reporterre<\/em><\/a>published May 11, 2023)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

In a world that is becoming less and less habitable, and whose modes of sustenance for human life are increasingly under threat, philosopher Baptiste Morizot argues for the establishment of new relationships between human\u2219e\u2219s and the rest of the living – or the living. The key, he believes, lies in founding new alliances between humans and non-humans and exploring “life through us”<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n

Ecotopiales 2025<\/h2>\n\n

It’s to explore these possible alliances that the second edition of the research-creation festival of ecological imaginaries, the \u00c9cotopiales<\/em><\/a>, is dedicated, organized from October 31 to November1<\/sup>, 2025, on the campus of the University of Lausanne and in the city of Lausanne. During these two days and the pre-festival (October 23-30), more than 60 artists and researchers\u2219euses will take turns to animate the 25 all-public events in the program. <\/p>\n\n

Active\u2219ves in seven forms of artistic expression – fiction writing, poetry, film, artivism, comics, role-playing and dramaturgy – and from\u2219e\u2219s all faculties of the University of Lausanne, they will introduce us to their understanding of the living. You’ll find portraits of some of the guests\u2219e\u2219s on the BCUL blog on October 29. In the meantime, let’s mention a few Ecotopiales <\/em> highlights: <\/p>\n\n
