Latvian artist Eva Vēvere’s reflection accompanying the drawings created as a commentary on the final event in a series of events that were part of “The Lost-and-Found: Revising Art Stories in search of Potential Changes” symposium organised between December 2023 and June 2024 in Lisbon, Warsaw and Riga, highlights the entanglements accompanying conversations that happened between the symposium participants.[1] “Connecting the dots” that Vēvere writes about is not an easy task; it is one that foregrounds methods and strategies of making relations, which was the key focus of “The Lost-and-Found” initiative. Emerging itself out of a conversation between individuals associated with three institutions in Portugal, Poland and Latvia, the dialogues initiated at the three gatherings turned into a durational inter-conversation that expanded towards others, human and non-human.[2] This was unexpected, catalysing literal connections through talking-with, eating-with and walking-with, and metaphorical moving-with each other in turbulent times affecting our situated worlds.

The visual language for a conference on love that recognises the continuum between enchantment and disaffection requires motifs that are neither immediately identifiable as the semiotics of commercialised love nor representational. The (re)constructions and deconstructions of love as a set of kinetic processes that simultaneously revitalise while having the capacity to destroy as a non-binary force is well-served by the drawings created by Jamie Hudson.
Forthcoming
Ecologies of Dissemination
- Issue 21
- — Summer 2025

Editors - Eva Weinmayr, Femke Snelting
Ecologies of Dissemination aims to develop a politics of re-use that acknowledges the tensions and overlaps between feminist methodologies, decolonial knowledge practices and principles of open access.
Invested in collective art and knowledge practices, we are concerned with how the current drive to openness in dissemination policies might overlook relational aspects. If we consider authorship to be part of a collective cultural effort, how can we invent a politics of sharing and re-use that does not buy into a universalist approach to openness.

Featured Articles on Nuclear Culture
Searching through Parse pulls up articles which demonstrate how the Anthropocene has always been nuclear, and the Nuclear has always been a form of colonization. Listening to Indigenous ways of knowing opens up forms of witnessing, living with, and solidarity across lands and communities effected by nuclear harm. So my selection of articles includes ways of being and healing which go beyond the European deep time discourses.
The desire for a techno-scientific fix for the climate crisis is driving new reactor research, and a resurgence in political support for the nuclear program, despite the Russian Federation weaponization of nuclear power plants in Ukraine. Sweden has just lifted the ban on Uranium mining and the impacts are felt in Sampi, echoing the landgrab for testing explosives for the early weapons program.
The mining of Uranium and testing atomic weapons has disproportionately impacted on Indigenous communities, and the article by Samia Henni is an important precursor to her more recent work on Colonial Toxicity and French nuclear testing in Algeria.
If you follow Latour’s references the Stratigraphy Quartneray Working group their research into anthropogenic radionuclides in mudflats correlate with peak nuclear weapons testing in the mid 1960s. This telluric disruption is mirrored by another insertion of radioactive materials into the geologic record in the form of high level radioactive waste, as discussed by Andy Weir. Measuring the seismic vibrations of the earth as part of the CTBTO enables the sensing of earthquake tremors explored in the Otolith Group’s film Medium Earth. It is the same sensors that mapped the movement of the tsumani that caused the meltdown of the Fukushima Daichi Nuclear Power Plant. Everything is connected.
