Existential Posthumanism as a Living Inquiry

This cycle of international conferences - International Colloquia on Existential Posthumanism is conceived as a living, relational inquiry into the notino of Existential Posthumanism. Bringing together scholars, researchers, artists, designers, activists, and practitioners, the series creates a shared space where theoretical reflection and embodied practice are inseparable. Existential Posthumanism is explored from multiple positions and disciplines, yet always grounded in a common commitment to relationality, non-anthropocentrism, and responsibility within a more-than-human world. The conferences thus function as crossroads of knowledge, experience, and care, where diverse voices converge without being homogenised. The aim of these gatherings is not merely to define, systematise, or delimit Existential Posthumanism as a theoretical paradigm. Rather, the conferences pose more radical and transformative questions — questions that are inhabited, felt, and collectively explored, in the recognition that thinking itself is always embodied, situated, and relational.

Below is a selection of the conferences held over the past few years:

Existential Posthumanism: A Visionary Introduction argues that this historical moment is not only a condition of collapse — it is also an opening. 

An opening toward new ways of thinking, sensing, learning, and becoming beyond anthropocentric and dualistic paradigms. The book introduces existential posthumanism as both a groundbreaking philosophical framework and a lived practice: a way of engaging existence as relational, embodied, ecological, and co-created across human and nonhuman worlds. 

Bringing together leading scholars and practitioners from across five continents, this edited collection weaves visionary essays with praxis-based reflections, experimental methodologies, and lived experiences. 

The volume emerges from a decade of international collaboration, including the Global Posthuman Network projects and symposia, the Existential Posthumanism conference series, posthuman summer camps, and experimental educational initiatives such as The Posthuman Educator certification course. These initiatives functioned as living laboratories where facilitators and participants explored existential and ethical questions through dialogue, embodiment, collective inquiry, and experiential activities. 

The result is a book that combines intellectual rigor with transformative energy, and that invites readers not only to understand existential posthumanism, but to experience and inhabit it.
