becoming—Fluid is the final book in the initial BECOMING trilogy, a creative publication series aiming to investigate the complex relationships between humans and other bodies through the concept of becoming. We conceptualize becoming as a recurrent act of deconstructing the boundaries between bodies, constructing malleable new borders in which multiple identities exist simultaneously; a continual performance of immanence and difference. BECOMING is a series of creative-research publications that draws together artists, researchers and practitioners to reimagine ways of being in response to the urgent realities of climate change—comprising anthropogenic global warming and sea-level rise, desertification and agricultural failures, ecosystem fragmentation and mass species extinction—and the concurrent undermining of democratic practices worldwide in the wake of runaway technoscientific capitalism, all of which are reifying and exacerbating existing socio-ecological inequities and injustices.

Through the form of a performative atlas, becoming—Fluid will map the fluid relations of bodies across various contexts (spatially, temporally, materially, and epistemologically) in order to explore the shifting landscapes, political mutations, and multispecies ecologies set in motion by the terraforming forces of climate and capitalism.

Specifically, we are seeking submissions in the form of a creative entry which is framed around a particular body, landscape, network, or process (e.g. Loch Awe, Firth of Forth, or Thames Estuary; South Atlantic Gulf Basin or Great Basin; Gulf Stream or La Niña). We are seeking visual artworks; radical cartography; performance documentation, notation, or scoring; critical and creative writing; and poetry or prose for consideration in the print edition of becoming—Fluid; and multimedia contributions for consideration in the digital edition.
