'Mystic Ecologies' was a one-day symposium as part of Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2022 that investigated speculative, fantastical and non-human positions on the environment and ecology, and what can be learnt from these perspectives. It prompted rethinking of the impact and visibility of the environmental crisis and how this might improve the potential for co-existence with the non-human. It was a collective reflection on how we can learn from our botanical, geological and elemental counterparts, and how this knowledge can progress our environmentally responsible survival. As an introduction to the themes, I have co-led a research tour sharing the resonant thematic and material engagements by selected artists in New Contemporaries 2022, weaving together narratives and references.
