During the inaugural lab in 2024 and second lab in 2025, participants developed collaborative, place-based projects leading to a program of public projects and a series of book publications on emerging posthuman methods and practices.

The final lab in 2026 brings these methods together in a posthuman atlas grounding knowledge in and of the world.

The Australian Posthuman Summer Lab is an interdisciplinary initiative that merges critical posthumanism with Indigenous knowledges to develop creative, place-based responses to climate and planetary crises, focusing on relationality, regeneration, and decentering the human through collaborative projects and publications. It brings together theory and practice, creating a unique methodology to address urgent environmental and social challenges by fostering new ways of thinking about human-more-than-human connections for planetary resilience.

The lab is an initiative of The Planetary Civics Inquiry, an alliance of researchers, educators, policymakers and designers committed to transforming how we conceive, care for and govern our entangled planet in climate change.
