A Textbook for the Ecocene

Simone Krug ed.

€30.00

A Textbook for the Ecocene is a how-to guide for connecting to self, community and planet. The Ecocene is an emergent and imagined geologic era where all humyns are living in reciprocity with their ecosystems again. Each textbook chapter shares practical exercises to try at home, Earth-centered theory and spirituality, and interviews with Black and Indigenous Earth warriors—cultural workers generating planetary liberation in their everyday lives. These testimonios from Johanna Iraheta, Bruje Fuego, Raquel Lemus, Patty Denisse, Jasmine Nyende, Queen Hollins and Olivia Chumacero shine with wisdom and advice for new and seasoned Earth stewards alike. Created originally as Sarita Dougherty's DIY PhD Dissertation, A Textbook for the Ecocene is a curricula for eco-feminista educations, DIY degrees and planetary destinies. We are activating the Ecocene right now, one step at a time. What we pay attention to grows.

Their FemmePhones, programmed with their personal values, guide them toward the transformative love and professional passions they seek.

Magical Realism. Imagining Natural Dis/order

Sofia Dati

Ecology €40.00

Exhibition catalogue published on the occasion of the exhibition Magical Realism: Imagining Natural Dis/order at WIELS, Brussels presented from 29 May to 28 September 2025.

How do we imagine life in a world facing global upheaval and ecological challenges? 

This book, as well as the exhibition it accompanies, is an invitation to move away from systems driven by endless growth and resource extraction, encouraging renewed ways of conceiving of the ‘natural’ world. When the world of science and hard facts has been separated from the world of magic and intuition, how do we bridge this divide, what are the after-effects and how do we repair? Magical Realism examines how the porosity between ‘magic’ and ‘reality’
may open up spaces for other horizons to emerge in response to proliferating monocultures, precarious lives and climate change. At the confluence of analysis and speculation, the authors and the artists brought together in this book explore paths towards restoring connections in a biosphere exhausted by exploitation, dispossession and debt.

Texts by Karen Barad, Federico Campagna & Febe Lamiroy, Chris Cyrille-Isaac, Sofia Dati, Vinciane Despret & Letícia Renault, Zayaan Khan, Shayma Nader, Susan Schuppli, Dirk Snauwaert.

Indigenous Pacific Islander Eco-Literatures

Kathy Jetñil-Kijiner, Leora Kava and 1 more

Poetry €29.00

In this anthology of contemporary eco-literature, the editors have gathered an ensemble of a hundred emerging, mid-career, and established Indigenous writers from Polynesia, Melanesia, Micronesia, and the global Pacific diaspora. This book itself is an ecological form with rhizomatic roots and blossoming branches. Within these pages, the reader will encounter a wild garden of genres, including poetry, chant, short fiction, novel excerpts, creative nonfiction, visual texts, and even a dramatic play—all written in multilingual offerings of English, Pacific languages, pidgin, and translation.

Seven main themes emerge: "Creation Stories and Genealogies," "Ocean and Waterscapes," "Land and Islands," "Flowers, Plants, and Trees," "Animals and More-than-Human Species," "Climate Change," and "Environmental Justice." This aesthetic diversity embodies the beautiful bio-diversity of the Pacific itself.

Allow me to dream a body with you

Sabina Holzer

Ecology €12.00

Writing from the body, from nervous impulses, sensations and gestures, but also from our being carried by matter, language and history, Sabina Holzer explores how writing may become ‘a way of singing and slip over into liminal, latent meanings and potentials.’ How to stay close to the body of the word? To perceive some of the multiplicity of our reality and ways of being, she incorporates somatic practices, ecology and new materialism, fables and science fiction in her writing. Allow me to dream a body with you gathers poetic essays and stories that delve into the fine grain of our corporeal entanglements and embeddedness. ‘Would an encounter between you and me be possible without all this?’

Sabina Holzer works in the field of expanded choreography. Her performances, interventions and texts explore the ecologies of human and more-than-human bodies with particular attention to movement and matter. She engages in practices of collaboration, philosophy, ecology, science fiction and poetry.
