As part of a critical ‘dialogue’ around the ontological nature of more-than-human well-being in an ecological emergency, I am interested in putting Amanda Yates, Kelly Dombroski, and Rita Dionisio's work into conversation with Matthew Gandy's book Natura Urbana. Whilst they are very different projects in their cultural focus and ambition, they lean into each other as part of a broader imaginary of ecological constellations and urban collectives.
