Through collectivity, music and sounds, we follow a feminist subjectivity, watered, inspired by Astrida Neimanis’s call to “chart our politics of location in a way that recognises our diverse aqueous implications and responsibilities”.

RE-PEAT is a youth-led collective with a mission to change the narrative around peatlands across the UK and Europe - what we term a “peatland paradigm shift”. We strongly believe that peatlands are ecosystems for our times – representing both a vast existential risk and a huge potential for positive transformation, the course of which we follow depending on the actions of those alive today. We also see that these ecosystems can offer insights into a wide array of eco-societal features, including deep time, what we collectively choose to remember/forget, and how we can think beyond binaries.
