Feral Labs Node Book #3: Fa Fa Futures Published

We are happy to announce the release of Feral Labs Node Book #3: Fa Fa Futures, the newest publication in the Feral Labs series developed within the Rewilding Cultures project.

The book brings together artists, researchers, theorists and practitioners exploring ecological futures, decolonial methodologies, feminist technoscience, more-than-human relations, artistic research, and experimental community practices. Structured as a collection of interconnected “nodes,” the publication combines essays, artistic reflections, ethnographic writing, speculative thinking, field research and visual documentation.

Fa Fa Futures examines how feral practices intersect with institutions, infrastructures, environmental collapse, care, law, pedagogy, biotechnology and collective survival. The publication continues the Feral Labs methodology of open knowledge exchange, peer learning, situated experimentation and transdisciplinary collaboration developed across the Feral Labs Network and the Rewilding Cultures project.

Radiona is proud to be one of the partner organisations within the Feral Labs Network alongside Projekt Atol, Bioart Society, Cultivamos Cultura, The Culture Yard, Ionian University, Makery and Schmiede.

Beyond the essays and artistic research contributions, the final section of the publication unfolds as a feral archive of the Rewilding Cultures network, documenting the processes, mobilities, collaborations, gatherings, and situated practices developed throughout the project between 2022 and 2026. This archival section includes The Rewilding Cultures Project on the Path of Sustainable Practices by Tina Dolinšek, as well as Rewilding Cultures Mobility Conversation, illustrated by Nicolás Parise Schneider.
