METABOLIC RIFTS was a multi-platform symposia series dedicated to ecological discussions at the intersection of visual arts and performance studies organised between 2017 and 2018.

By investigating how the logic of capitalist accumulation and neoliberal reasoning ruptures the metabolism of the earth’s systems, severing its basic operations of renewal, this programme encouraged multifarious approaches to planetary phenomena proposing a forum for discussing their eroding histories and coming perspectives.
