Feral Atmospheres call for abstracts 

The Japanese terms “aida” or “ma” signify neither inside nor outside, but an in-between space, which Nishida honed in his understanding of ‘basho’ (a unique understanding of place). This overcoming of inside-outside dualisms and frozen dynamics allows us to attend to the way in which concepts, sensoria, and experience bleed between layers of conceptual separation.

18-19 April, 2026, the Feral Ecologies Lab and Kobe Institute of Atmospheric Studies at Kobe University in Japan, will be jointly hosting the Technological and Ecological Atmospheres (TEA) Symposium.
