Weed Salon is a new series of online gatherings connected to Weed, an independent, artist-led printed publication exploring queer art and ecology.
This first Salon invites artists, writers, photographers, filmmakers and other creative practitioners to think together about queer ecologies — not as a fixed theory, but as a lived, material and imaginative practice.
Rather than a lecture, this is a guided, participatory session combining short presentation, reflections, collective discussion, and gentle creative exercises designed to spark new ways of thinking about your work.
What we’ll explore
- Queer ecologies as fluid, relational, and more-than-human
- Porous boundaries between bodies and environments
- Water, matter, flow, and transformation as artistic tools
- How ecological thinking can shift creative practice
What to expect
- A short contextual introduction
- Guided mapping exercises (body–environment, material flows)
- A collective “worlding” writing prompt
- Group discussion and closing reflection
You don’t need prior knowledge of queer theory or ecology — just curiosity and a willingness to engage.
Who it’s for
- Artists and creative practitioners at any stage
- Those interested in queerness, ecology, embodiment, and process
- Anyone looking for a thoughtful, supportive space to reflect on their practice
