Institute for Postnatural Studies

The Institute for Postnatural Studies (IPS) is an artistic experimentation center dedicated to exploring and questioning postnature as a framework for contemporary creation. It is conceived as a platform for critical thought and a network that brings together artists and researchers concerned with the challenges of the global ecological crisis through experimental formats of exchange and open knowledge production.

With a multidisciplinary approach, IPS develops projects, research, and exhibitions that address ecology, coexistence, politics, and relationships with territory and ecosystems. Its academic program includes seminars, courses, and independent study programs, fostering experimental learning spaces. Additionally, its headquarters in Madrid serves as a meeting point where artist residencies, workshops, gatherings, and conferences are activated, promoting dialogue and collective production. In parallel, the Institute has created the publishing platform Cthulhu Books.
