Including future generations and non-humans is one of the key challenges when dealing with environmental decision-making. To address this issue, PHOENIX is organising “Representing the Absent. How to include non-humans in a participatory ecological transition” a Satellite event within the New European Bauhaus Festival.

Through this initiative, PHOENIX aims to create a further opportunity to both draw attention to the topic of inclusivity and develop participatory and deliberative practices capable of truly being inclusive.

This overarching objective requires implementing new cooperative strategies with like-minded actors, starting from the experience of projects like “The Democratic Odyssey” or “The Real Deal”, which are providing novel perspectives on this topic.

By bringing together artists, researchers and other stakeholders, this initiative seeks to activate forms of transdisciplinary cooperation that can help us reflect on how to build “multispecies democracies” that confront current climate and ecological challenges in innovative ways.
