^{Eternal Terra Ear}

As a

Post-Extractivism Cooperative

Nurtured by Fab City Global Network,

our collective 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
Post-disaster Relief,
Climate Advocacy,
Water Management,
Future Ocean Infrastructural Governance,
Art and Democracy,
Ewnewable Energy Transition
Nuclear Disarmament,
and Multispecies Existential Crisis will be addressed through future policy writing for cultural practitioners and institutions.

Events

Upcoming:

November 1-10, Berlin Science Week City-Wide Program Organizer, Berlin

November 20-21, 2025: The 5th European Culture and Technology Lab+ Annual Conference, Baltan Laboratories , Eindhoven.

Lead Workshop: Eternal Terra Ear (ETE): 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.

Kamila Holíková

Event coordinator and curator from Czechia, based in Brussels. With a background in classical music, nightlife, fashion, and visual arts, her multidisciplinary practice explores displacement, cultural difference, and collective wellbeing through the lens of sensory experience. By recontextualizing traditions in innovative forms, she investigates how sound and art operate as mediating agents of community formation, resilience, and grounding, while forging new connections between cultural heritage and contemporary innovation.

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.

Home1. Displaced Negotiation

Materials are gathered as if this government-permitted cultural new building is a farmland where edible resources are grown if you try with manual force while observing the rain with quasi-sensoring eyesight.

Friends, open call applicants, invited guests gathered for hypothesizing dazed Christmas balls and post-dust atmosphere generated not by machines but by raw concrete and speed of falling artificial earth-made smoke.

Immigrants from the East need nothing more than the white skinners.

Race, gender, and unsettled yet remote class colonize all young artists who do or do not inherit memories from their ancestors who can never see the geopolitics now but dare to be spatial engineers, make scenographies, claim ownerships, and divide boundaries in a half-funded art space of concrete materiality.

Yet ‘Future of this event might be on your CV’ and individual portfolios, carried rumours say the bizarreness of certain intrusive individuals is nothing but a displaced experience of immigrants who resonate so much with Ukrainians in the EU, whose situation was badly negotiated with the States in public news. ‘Everything is an open secret’, says the boys. Immigrant girls yet risk their lives in survival mode to be on time.

Who are we all after this dream of buried textiles washed by vinegar’s acidness, only a smaller-than-average body can fit into the shabbiness, and I-deserve-better-ness? ‘Latvia, A Short History’ was never recited as ritual, nor discussed among our beautiful audiences, flirting with each other’s ex-lovers and illuminated job seekers by a nearby garden of perfect spheres. Those senses of time and door keys are both temporally retarded, but painfully buried amid the almost fainted organizer’s purest idealism of them all. Krav’s poem is from the Far East Thai farm land imagery rather than from the lowland. None’s responsibility was heard. A leader shall be self-claimed, or the policy of rights distributed as a social contract of this new space of old concrete.

2. Community Scenography
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, Painter & Fundraiser based in Los Angeles

Petal and Motorbike Dialogue-
Self-performing installation by Beate Poikāne

(mixed media installation or a performative sharing, audio 0'11 min)

Beate Poikāne

Beate Poikāne is a visual artist, theatre-maker, and scenographer from Riga, Latvia. Her artistic explorations manifest in various forms at the intersection of visual art and contemporary performing arts. Through methods of worlding and speculative storytelling, she crafts self-performing environments and performances with nuanced visuality. The artworks contain a conversation with actants and non-human performers in shifting hierarchies in an expanded post-human ensemble where the body is in dynamic with spaces, sequences of sculptural elements, and technology. It is an exploration of how imagination relates to space, investigating how the ideas of fictional worlds are interconnected with embodied experiences. Her process is informed by the observations of Latvian post-socialist landscapes of contradictions and socio-economic complexities, lately she issues searching for ways to implement the regional specifics in the character and set build-up, morphing spaces with bodies. Outcomes question the liminality between fantasy and the potential for imagination to become a tool for reshaping existing relationalities and create new belongings. Beate mainly works in mediums of theatre, performance installation and video.

Aerobic Topologies By carolin melia brendel
ETENS Researcher on Deep Ocean

marine media metabolisms

in collaboration with Mona Schieren, Helen Pritchard, Elda Miramontes García, Florence Schubotz and Marlis Reich (Ongoing since 2025)

The project is situated at the intersection of critical media art and theory, artistic research, queer-feminist science studies and the sociology of finance. Audiovisual artistic methods, geoscientific experiments and ethnographic fieldwork constitute the primary methods of the postdisciplinary and intraspecies research collaboration between media artists, economic sociologists, geoscientists and marine fungi.
