DIRTY ECOLOGIES
WEDNESDAY 06/05
At: NICC

Dirty ecologies 

Sporadic limoni rain is forecast throughout the month of May, particularly affecting the area around Square de l’Aviation. Futuristic lemon-creatures may sporadically invade the site, spreading an uncontrollable epidemic of kisses across the local atmosphere.

Drawn to the phenomenon, Matte , a local eco slut appears on site, welcoming the arrivals with libidinal greetings and opening spaces for erotic bonding and interspecies entanglement. A toxic detective is called in to investigate these unexpected presences and their interactions with the surrounding dirty flora and fauna. They meet on site. An improbable collaboration begins.

Dirty Ecologies stages an encounter between a toxic detective and an eco slut.
Together, they transform the NICC vitrine into an imaginative and political platform where ecological forensics, sensual entanglements, libidinal research, and speculative fabulation intertwine.Rejecting the fantasy of pure nature and rooted in the complex reality of the neighbourhood around NICC, they approach pollution not only as damage, but as a site of queer kinship — without smoothing or aestheticizing its violence.

Dirty Book Club sessions : 

May 6 — opening
May 11
May 18
May 25
May 27 — closing

Come for reading, detectiving, and slutting together.
