Queer Flora, Fauna, and Funga

Queer theory, natural history and ecology intersect through visual art, poetry, science experiments and more

Published with Art & Ecology Series.

Part of Valiz's Art and Ecology series, Queer Flora, Fauna, and Funga is an eclectic, transdisciplinary and versatile anthology, highlighting sexual and gender diversity in nature. Contributors across a litany of disciplines--from creative writers to beekeepers and speculative theorists--present dozens of case studies which inspire us to reimagine the world and our place in it. Each example centers around guiding questions such as: How does acknowledging the queerness of nature inspire us to compose the world otherwise? And what is the role of an individual in a symbiotic community? Queer Flora, Fauna, and Funga asks us to reconsider our relationships with each other and our more-than-human companions in the natural world.
