From Paris's rehabilitated Petite Ceinture, we invite research-led artists, filmmakers and architects engaging with plural, expanded ecological frameworks to join paris wetlands: research assembly for expanded ecologies — a gathering unpacking creative methodologies through transnational and decolonial lenses.
Drawing on the interconnected wetland ecologies that once structured Paris as a metaphor for fluidity and interconnectivity, this assembly is aimed at fostering a horizontal support network for ecology-focused researchers based in Paris.

En s'appuyant sur les écologies de zones humides interconnectées qui structuraient autrefois Paris, envisagées comme métaphore de fluidité et d'interconnexion, cette assemblée vise à faire émerger un réseau horizontal de soutien pour les chercheur·euses en écologie basé·es à Paris.
