Program highlights_

Keynote: *“Urban Planning and ‘Making Kin’: Reflections on Multispecies 
Environmental Justice in Spatial Planning”* by Sandra Huning (Technical 
University Dortmund).

Talks: *“Climate (In)Justice in the Megacities of the Global South”* by 
Farhana Sultana (Syracuse University).

Performance lecture and installation: *“Chuquicamata: Necropolitics and 
Autopoiesis of a Mining City”* by Constanza Mendoza.

The majority of the world’s population is now dependent on cities as a 
place to live. But cities are also ‘engines of growth’ and as such 
integral to colonial-capitalist globalization that produces, for 
example, pandemics, resource wars, and the increasing violence of 
climate change. Meanwhile, the growing instability of planetary 
eco-systems – as evidenced by extreme weather events and rising sea 
levels – shows that cities are particularly vulnerable to the 
consequences of the very crises they generate in the service of growth. 
How can we politicize the dual role of cities as both drivers and 
‘victims’ of the disasters of our time? *How can we reclaim and reinvent 
cities as infrastructures of both human and other-than-human life? How 
can we connect urban and ecological struggles?* The three-day “Kin City” 
event aims to explore these questions. With Debora Darabi, Pepe Dayaw, 
Nelli Kambouri, Svjetlana Nedimović, Claudia Núñez, Sara Petrolova, 
Christine Winter, Dzina Zhuk, and many more.
