The Geopolitics of the Forest working group meets regularly to share their research on the geopolitics of the forest across art, architecture, political science and landscape ecology. The group aim to develop a shared critical space for new collaborative artistic research projects which deal with the ethical complexities of forestry in relation to the climate crisis, to reconsider the language and aesthetics of sustainability.
The working group investigates multidisciplinary approaches to the human and nonhuman entanglements of the forest in Northern Sweden. Research questions investigate the ethical aesthetics of different kinds of woodlands and their material and geopolitical networks.
The Geopolitics of the Forest Working Group is chaired by Luis Berríos-Negrón, UmArts Research Fellow in Art and Architecture. Other members include researchers from the fields of art, architecture, forest history, political science, Sámi Research and landscape ecology.
