MESHscreens | More Than a Fish Kill | Public Film Screening with Podium Discussion

“More than a fish kill” is an inspiring short-form documentary (2024, Australia, 38 mins) exploring how artists, fisheries managers and First Nations custodians came together in the aftermath of devastating fish kills along the Barka (Darling River) in far western New South Wales. These unlikely collaborators undertook a remarkable journey, turning these devastating ecological disasters into catalysts for cultural healing and revival. More than a Fish Kill shares how art, science and ancient knowledges were interwoven in the spirit of care, revealing new possibilities for honouring our places and communities in this time of environmental change. Co-produced by the National Museum of Australia, the Cad Factory and Otis Filley Studios.

HESCOR MESH Vision Forum Session - Politics of More-Than-Human Life and Earth System Science

This series of events, taking place on December 2 & December 9 & December 17, 2025 | 17:00 – 19:00, is co-organized by Multidisciplinary Environmental Studies in the Humanities (MESH) and the HESCOR research hub on the coupled evolution of human and Earth systems. The aim is to explore interdisciplinary avenues from within the humanities toward a “humanities-induced” Earth System Science (Simon and Thomas, 2022) – i.e., a perspective on the functioning of the planetary system that takes into account observations and insights from the humanities, including on the role of human agency and multispecies relations.
