As a 

Post-Extractivism Social Non-Profit + Sustainable Intelligence Advocate  

Born in Fab City Global Network, Advanced Architecture Barcelona (IAAC)

ETENS is a Decentralized, Transnational alliance of cultural practitioners, architects, researchers, and grassroots strategists. Our community spans South Africa, Iraq, India, Bangladesh, Uganda, Belgium, France, and more, with no fixed headquarters but strong regional nodes and community-led infrastructures. 

Our shared vision is to rethink governance from the ground up, learning from the adaptability and creativity of networks formed in response to crises, from mutual aid networks in refugee NGOs to feminist care structures in post-colonial contexts, and emerging cultural infrastructures for creatives coimagining alternatives on multiple levels.



 Key issues such as

Humanitarian Spatial Design,
Climate Advocacy,
Maritime Infrastructural Analysis,
Cooperative Commons,
Data Analysis
Creative Media Communication

are covered by engineers, researchers, practitioners, and partner institutions.

Core Team Contributors




Yidi Lola Wang

汪一笛 is a social architect, infrastructural strategist, and social impact evaluator. She is the founder of Eternal Terra Ear New Society (ETENS), and a public speaker for ETENS’s post-humanitarian cultivation at the IRCAM Forum Center Pompidou, European Citizen Science Association, and UN Ocean Decade conference, etc.

She once studied at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Independent School for the City, and Fab City Global Foundation x IAAC Barcelona. She was a researcher in Hong Kong post-war urban cooperative housing development, research participant at Sciences Po Paris DSA Sprint of Open Institute for Digital Transformation, and youth delegate of the World Bank summit 2025.

Her work has been exhibited at IABR International Architecture Biennale 2024, Transmedia Research Institute, Blue Institute for the Future in Milan, and IRCAM Center Pompidou in Paris.


Mónica Avella

International lawyer, policy advisor, and strategist access to justice, women’s empowerment, and humanitarian action across Latin America, Europe, and globally. She holds a MPP from the London School of Economics (LSE), where she founded the Women & Well-Being Forum 2025 with the Colombian Society. Mónica has collaborated with leading international organizations, including UN Women, OHCHR, USAID, Chemonics International, and Sorbonne ONU.

Currently, Mónica is developing her involvement with ETENS’ Women’s Entrepreneurship Accelerator, an initiative aiming to connect established women entrepreneurs with locally rooted ventures to exchange mentorship, knowledge, and resources. While still in its early stages, the project seeks to cultivate inclusive networks across cultural and technological ecosystems, empowering women-led enterprises and fostering cross-sector collaboration.


Fatemeh Kazemi فاطمه کاظمی  
(she/they, b. 1992, Tehran)
also known as Afimoh, is an interdisciplinary artist and researcher whose practice spans material fabrication, fiction writing, archiving, filming, curating, organizing, and hosting. Her work engages with themes of communal grief or غم (/gham/), underground economies, kitsch Iranian visual culture, ritual, and subculture. Developed through conversation and community-oriented collaborations, her approach is deeply rooted in collective experiences. 

Kazemi earned a BFA in Painting from the University of Tehran (2014) and an MFA in Studio Art from Syracuse University (2024). Her work moves fluidly across worlds, blending installation, lens-based media, and the poetic flow of creative writing. She has exhibited at Parallel Circuit Space (Tehran), SUB Community (Çanakkale), Ruschman Gallery (Chicago), Navel LA (Los Angeles), Smack Mellon (New York), and Bayt Al Mamzar (Dubai). Her experimental films have been screened at the London Short Film Festival, CulturalHub (New York), LUX Book Fair (London), Dresden Film Festival, Everson Museum of Art (Syracuse), and Foundry By Emaar (Dubai), among other venues.



Iliana Papadopoulou
Iliana is an architect, artist and creative developer. She has an academic background in architectural design and computation, holding an MArch from Aristotle University and an MSc in Architectural Computation from The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL.

Her teaching and research roles at IAAC, CITA and The Bartlett, have served as platforms to rethink computational media through multidisciplinary experimentation. At Henning Larsen studio in Copenhagen, she contributed to R&D projects exploring emerging technologies to shape new spatial experiences, with a focus on local communities and diversity.

She is currently actively contributing to open-source software repositories alongside her artistic and theoretical projects. She experiments with game engines, web interfaces, 3D sculpting, and creative coding, weaving these tools into a polymathic approach that reshapes digital landscapes through custom software. Her work has been exhibited/published internationally, including at the Media Architecture Biennale in Amsterdam, Tbilisi Architecture Biennale, and the Royal Danish Academy in Copenhagen.

Lead Workshop:  Eternal Terra Ear New Society (ETENS): Alternative Infrastructures for Planetary Biointelligence, Alternative Cultural Trust, and Post-Mining Planetary Governance from Experimental Art-Based Policy Making
Central to our praxis is biointelligence, a governance philosophy that sees the biosphere not as resource, but as sentient system. This perspective enables post-anthropocentric policy frameworks aligned with the logics of rivers, seasonal migration, or marine crystallization. ETE addresses the question for all: How might we transmute extractive infrastructures into ethical planetary biosphere intelligence through shared experimental compositions?

March 3-6, 2026, European Citizen Science  Association,  Panel Discussion: Planetary Governance through Biointelligence, Alternative Financing, and Cultural R&D through Platform Cooperativism, Finland.

ROOM AS POLICY MAKING

“Rooms are where we frame our existence. The colors we surround ourselves with, the ways we furnish our lives, and the people and things from outside that we bring in - all of this makes a room. It is where we assert control and where we succumb to innate vulnerabilities, and not everyone has the same one. 

There are rooms that go for millions of dollars, there are rooms whose walls are made from tent fabric, but within all of us is the tendency to make a space ours, a site that begs familiarity and invites others to it. 

The oddities that lend personality to a room can be stripped away by capital-driven enterprise, and a place can look very different from generation to generation, but unless the minds of the people who inhabit a space are altered beyond repair, what we build and how we do it will always be a practice intrinsic to the human condition.” 

----Chloe Aiko Stark, in Los Angeles
