Colloque

Symposium Rhizome Rosi

The symposium brings together researchers, artists, and practitioners to engage in dialogue with Rosi Braidotti’s work. It is designed as an intergenerational meeting place, prioritising contemporary re-readings, revivals, and extensions of her thought. Presentations will include standard academic papers as well as more experimental formats. 

All in-person tickets are now fully booked, but the event will be livestreamed on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@rhizomerosi.paris1.

The symposium will be followed by Cartographies posthumaines : soirée de performances on Saturday 17 January 2026, featuring 18 artists at @legenerateur. Free tickets are available here: https://my.weezevent.com/symposium-cartographies-posthumaines.

This performance evening concludes the symposium, bringing together researchers and artists to explore the feminist, posthumanist, and nomadic legacies of Rosi Braidotti’s work.
