The PIP, offered by the Institute for Postnatural Studies (IPS) is a hybrid learning space that offers theoretical tools, embodied learning, community building spaces, and expertise to define and examine postnature as a framework for contemporary creation. The PIP offers an experimental platform for ecological thinking and cultural initiatives in an expanded virtual campus, approaching the participants’ potential from a holistic mediation. It also brings together established researchers and art institutions that will host guest lectures, working sessions, and activations.

The program is structured in 3 online modules, accompanied by renowned international thinkers, artists, curators, and philosophers, complemented by collective practice laboratories, collective sharing spaces and two in-person encounters in Madrid in which the cohort will share their investigation and practice in a safe environment and engage with the local cultural landscape.

From January 18 — June 12, 2027

Applications open until November 15, 2026
