Erik Peters is an interdisciplinary artist and artistic researcher engaging with the worldbuilding potentialities seeded in the act of storytelling, uncovering how speculative fiction can germinate new universes of being through collaborative formats of making, researching and staging. Exploring queer ecology as a roadmap to alternative futures, they weave pathways between the possible worlds persistently emerging from a world in planetary crisis. They create immersive scenarios about possible futures; imaginative worlds staged as spatial and interactive installations, workshops, performances and audiovisual works.
