Research group The lab examines how industrial activity and climate change unevenly affect natural and cultural landscapes. It explores post-extraction scenarios, seeking regenerative models for damaged territories, with attention to fragile ecosystems, ecological racism, and the displacement of Indigenous communities. Its aim is to produce an Atlas of Conflict Zones, visually documenting sites of ecological and social distress to inform policy and practice.
The Laboratory of Intersectional Ecologies is a collaborative platform for territorial research and geopolitical advocacy. This research presents a prototype for mapping socio-environmental injustices, infrastructural violence, and industrial disruptions through a trans-scalar methodological approach, from planetary networks to molecular evidence. The research methodology encompasses the mapping of complex geospatial data to study disruptive phenomena while denouncing the agents of disturbance responsible for the exhaustion of ecological resources and the cultural extermination in vulnerable lands and communities.
The Laboratory of Intersectional Ecologies engages in critical research that spans multiple scales, focusing on the impact of industrial forces and climate change on territories worldwide. It operates as a collaborative agency dedicated to producing multisensorial environments, active intersectional maps, and collaborative digital cartographies that address planetary crises. The lab combines immersive methodologies with open-source technologies, engaging with complex environmental issues through multiscalar, cross-disciplinary strategies, transversal design, and critical and imaginative investigation.
The Lab employs geospatial mapping, satellite imagery, speculative AI-generated environmental narratives, and participatory digital tools to visualize hidden forms of territorial violence. Through open-source technologies, researchers and local communities contribute to documenting case studies of environmental injustice and ecological resilience, captured at different scales using complex territorial analysis. The case studies unfold social and environmental injustices, revealing hidden forces from industrial megasystems and tracing the scars of depletion from extractive practices.
The lab is part of a growing network of environmental researchers that engages remotely and decentralizes the research process, connecting a global community committed to studying climate-affected regions and their ecosystems.
