The next session of The Lisbon Consortium Book Club will take place on 22 June 2026 11:00 – 13:00 at Hangar. It takes place in the framework of the online seed archive and the community garden, by Mónica de Miranda.
Inspired by Mónica de Miranda’s Community Garden and Jemma Foster’s Ecomancy, we are hosting The Earthly In-Common: An Ecopoetic Tea Circle. We’ll be gathering to share herbal infusions and recite poetry that explores our deep-rooted relation to the more-than-human world.
We will read from the Attached to the Living World anthology, alongside the ecopoetry of Anuj Lugun and Nirmala Putul (all texts will be provided).
Our discussion will be guided by excerpts from Achille Mbembe’s The Earthly Community and Édouard Glissant’s Poetics of Relation.
We welcome you to bring your own favourite ecopoetry to share with the group.
By connecting the material act of drinking tea with the immaterial power of language, we aim to explore what it means to be “in-common” with the Earth today.
- Capacity: limited to 12 participants
