Murmurations grew through many hands, voices, and presences. Our deepest thanks to Angélique Willkie, whose insights and attunement shaped the Dramaturgical Ecologies research collective and seeded the conditions for this project to unfold.
We extend heartfelt thanks to the Dramaturgical Ecologies team - Dana Dugan, Matthew-Robin Nye, Vanessa Montesi, and Cadu Mello - for the care, imagination, and labor that shaped this work, from kitchens and reading circles to archives, shared practices, event craftings.
To the artists, scholars, performers, and public thinkers who joined us across conversations and workshops—Seika Boye, Mélanie Demers, Stéphane Martelly, Funmi Adewole, SERAFINE1369, Daniel McNeil, Dana Michel, and Naila Keleta-Mae. We are grateful for your generosity and willingness to think and feel with us.
Thank you to Erin Manning and Brian Massumi, as hosts and facilitators of dialogues at 3ecologies, for hosting our residency and welcoming us into a space where they make study a lived experience of thinking and moving with the world. To Bayo Akomolafe for joining our closing gathering and bringing his reflections to our shared field of inquiry.
Finally, we acknowledge the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Coucil of Canada (SSHRC), Concordia's Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies in Society and Culture (CIISC), and Concordia's 4th Space for supporting the year-long unfolding, and all those—named and unnamed—whose listening, cooking, hosting, note-taking, witnessing, and conversation nourished this project.
This exposition carries all these fingerprints, landmarks, voices, and echoes.
