Marieluise Kämpf

Risograph-printed-zine workshop thinking utopia through decolonial, non-anthropocentric positionalities. Using creative exercises walks, readings, videos, visits and sketching participants delve into sensorial world-buildings, fostering futures beyond human-centered narratives.

Waters in Venus ~ Flowers in Mars invites participants to create a Risograph-printed zine conceiving utopia from a decolonial, non-anthropocentric perspective. Focusing on collective world-building through sensory experiences, the workshop uses printmaking and self-publishing to envision futures beyond human-centered narratives, emphasizing eco-centered perspectives while acknowledging personal perspectives.

Creative exercises—including walks, spatial awareness practices, group readings, videos, site visits, discussions, and sketching sessions—enable participants to access memories, emotions, and intuitions, fostering a sensory approach to utopia.
The process considers how relationships beyond the human can open pathways to alternative forms of existence rooted in care, mutual respect, and ecological consciousness.
