This symposium brings together scholars, researchers, and artists to reflect on the relevance of Gilles Deleuze’s philosophy for the challenges of a present defined by extinction, climate change, technological acceleration, political upheaval, and shifting modes of subjectivity. What does it mean to think the future with Deleuze? How can his ideas help us imagine new forms of collective life, knowledge production, and aesthetic creation?
