SUMMARY:Seminar: Plant Humanities - The Anthropocene\, Art\, and Artificial Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:Seminar: Plant Humanities – The Anthropocene\, Art\, and Artificial Intelligence \nDate: May 19\, 2026 (Tue)\nTime: 3:00 pm – 4:30 pm Hong Kong Time / 10:00 am – 11:30 am Eastern Standard Time\nVenue: Online (Zoom) \nIf you are interested\, please register at https://forms.office.com/r/Q7tnC5JQ3N\nAll are welcome. \nThe Zoom meeting link will be provided in the confirmation email. \nJoin this transdisciplinary conversation with an artist\, a biologist-explorer\, and a Sino-literary scholar as we discuss how human–plant relationships reshape community\, meaning\, and the future of the environmental humanities. \nNatural: An interactive urban botanical installation \nDr. Rucsandra Pop\, Artist and anthropologist\, Coimbra\, Portugal \nNatural is an interactive urban botanical installation — an oasis of dialogue co-created with the community. Through 15 interviews with immigrants in Coimbra\, the project identifies natural elements that made people coming from different countries feel “at home”\, and adapt to the realities of their new city. The living plants and their stories of rooting will be integrated into a collective artwork. At its culmination\, a Community Supper near the installation will facilitate dialogue between immigrants\, students\, and decision-makers\, transforming the public space into a lasting “garden of memories” and a catalyst for a more cohesive Coimbra. The artist will present her creative process for Natural\, linked to her previous work that investigates how nature can become a teacher for self-awareness and self-love. The project is included in the AnoZero’26 Convergent Programme — Sensory and Participatory Experiences. \nRucsandra Pop (b. 1976) is an artist and anthropologist recently relocated to Coimbra. She works at the intersections of disciplines and worlds\, collaborating with practitioners across theatre\, visual arts\, contemporary dance\, architecture\, and the social sciences\, driven by the belief that art should be accessible to everyone. Her practice explores how dialogue and creativity can transform cities\, neighbourhoods\, and villages into genuine communities\, and how vulnerability — in speaking and especially in listening — makes living together possible. She views art as a creator of “pockets for vulnerability” and enjoys exploring these spaces with others. More on her website: https://www.rucsandrapop.com/about \nEcoexistentialism and the Human-Plant Relationship: Perspectives from Indigenous Communities of Brazil \nDr. Alexandru N. Stermin\, Lecturer\, Center for Explorations in Environmental Humanities\, Faculty of Biology and Geology\, Babeș- Bolyai University\, Romania \nThis presentation introduces ecoexistentialism as an emerging philosophical framework that explores how fundamental existential questions — identity\, wellbeing\, freedom\, love\, death\, and the meaning of existence — are metabolised in direct relationship with the natural world. Situated at the intersection of existentialist philosophy and ecology\, ecoexistentialism proposes that a world composed exclusively of human relations may be insufficient for full human existence. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork conducted between 2023 and 2026 among the Kalapalo and Umutina peoples of Brazil’s Xingu and Paraguay river basins\, this presentation focuses specifically on human-plant relationships as sites of existential meaning-making. In animist and totemist ontologies\, plants are not passive resources but relational subjects: origin ancestors\, cosmological agents\, and partners in love\, identity\, and moral life. The presentation argues that attending to indigenous plant relationships offers critical resources for rethinking ecological ethics beyond abstraction\, grounding responsibility in ontological continuity rather than moral obligation. \nAlexandru N. Stermin is a biologist and writer. He teaches comparative vertebrate anatomy\, ethology\, bioethics\, and human ecology at the Faculty of Biology and Geology\, Babeș-Bolyai University\, Cluj-Napoca\, Romania. His academic background spans biology\, theology\, psychology\, and philosophy. He is the coordinator of the Center for Explorations in Environmental Humanities (CEEH). He conducted fieldwork across the Amazon and Pantanal wetlands of South America\, in Siberian forests\, and among indigenous communities in Brazil and Paraguay. He has been a research fellow at the University of Greifswald and at the State University of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ). His work sits at the intersection of natural science\, philosophy\, and narrative writing\, exploring the existential and cultural dimensions of the human relationship with the natural world. \nTextual Tensions in Plant Humanities: Between Theory and Literature \nDr. Ioana Clara Enescu\, Lecturer\, Faculty of Letters\, Transilvania University of Brașov\, Romania \nDr. Jack Tsao\, Senior Lecturer\, Common Core Office\, The University of Hong Kong \nThis talk draws on a cross-institutional research project in which Hong Kong and Romanian students used generative AI to work with classical Chinese and Romanian literary texts on plants. Rather than rehearse the familiar charge that AI flattens cultural specificity or smuggles anthropocentrism back in\, we describe a more uneven picture across nine student prototypes. The sharper tensions were not between “theory” and “AI” but inside the literary texts themselves\, which proved stranger and more theoretically alive than the frameworks — posthumanism\, ecofeminism\, plant subjectivity — initially brought to them. AI sat awkwardly within this triangulation: sometimes producing exactly the romanticised first-person plant voice one would expect\, where its failures were diagnostically useful; at other times becoming genuinely generative — a linden corresponding with a banyan across incommensurable symbolic economies\, an orchid re-rendered through two millennia of commentary\, a “cultural witness” reading Chernobyl’s flora through Tang-era resilience aesthetics. In these moments AI worked less as translator or ventriloquist than as a strange third party whose misreadings and unexpected fidelities pressed students to revise both their theory and their reading. We suggest that plant humanities may have less to gain from adjudicating AI’s accuracy than from treating it as a constraint and collaborator that makes long-folded textual tensions newly workable. \nIoana Clara Enescu is a lecturer at the Faculty of Letters\, Transilvania University of Brașov\, Romania\, and a foreign lecturer at Xi’an International Studies University\, China. She holds a PhD in Sinology from the University of Bucharest\, with research focused on an ecocritical reading of contemporary Chinese literature. Her research areas include contemporary Chinese literature\, plant studies\, econarratology\, empirical ecocriticism\, and ecolinguistics. She also serves as a copyeditor for Ecokritike\, an international\, open-access\, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to research in environmental humanities\, literary theory\, and cultural criticism. \nJack Tsao is the Associate Director and Senior Lecturer at the Common Core Office. As a Principal Fellow of Higher Education Advance\, he is passionate about transdisciplinary education through research-based and social impact initiatives\, experimenting with innovative approaches to develop students’ capacities for the future of work and citizenship. He holds a PhD in education from the University of Queensland\, and his research is focused on education futures\, exploring comparative and international education\, transdisciplinarity\, the sociology of education\, and digital technologies and artificial intelligence in education. He is the co-editor of the upcoming book Transdisciplinary Experiments: Research\, Teaching and Institutionalisation\, published by UCL Press.

SUMMARY:Stories in War Zones: Building Positive Peace through Humanitarian Work
DESCRIPTION:Stories in War Zones: Building Positive Peace through Humanitarian Work  \nWith Urieb Samad  \n  \n14th November 2025 (Friday) @ 15:30-16:30 \nCommon Core / BASc Lounge (MB150) \n  \nWe’re offering a rare opportunity to hear firsthand stories from war and conflict zones in the Middle East—right here in Hong Kong\, where many of us can easily take peace for granted.

SUMMARY:Chinese Martial Arts - Culture And The Future
DESCRIPTION:Chinese Martial Arts – Culture And The Future \n19/02/2025 (Wed) 12:45-14:20 @ LE3 \nJoin us for an inspiring lecture with Kung Fu Master Rudy Ibarra\, as he shares his journey into Chinese Martial Arts and Kung Fu and its profound connection to Chinese cultural heritage. Master Ibarra will share how Kung Fu has acted as a cultural ambassador and reflect on how it serves as a living link into Chinese values\, identity\, and history. The talk will also highlight the practical aspects of Kung Fu for today’s world\, comparing it with other martial systems and types emphasising its relevance for the future\, despite modern skepticism of “Traditional Arts”. He will share his experiences training in Beijing and Fuzhou and teaching in NYC and now in Hong Kong as a foreigner. Master Ibarra will focus on his specialisation in Ziranmen\, or “Natural Style\,” and offer a live demonstration\, ending with a Q&A. \nMaster Rudy Ibarra is a distinguished martial artist with over thirty-five years of experience. As a child\, he was inspired by iconic Hong Kong Kung Fu movies like “36 Chambers”\, “5 Venoms\,” and the American TV series “Kung Fu”\, which exposed him to Buddhist\, Daoist\, and Chinese philosophy. Starting his martial arts journey in 1985\, he earned two black-belts in traditional Okinawan Karate. After having researched and understood the Chinese roots of Karate\, he began studying Chinese martial arts in New York City’s Chinatown in 1995 and later met a teacher from Fuzhou\, who introduced him to the rare art of Ziranmen. His commitment to mastering Chinese martial arts took him to Beijing Physical Education University in 1998 to study martial methods and again in 2001 to Tsinghua University to deepen his language studies and his knowledge of the internal martial arts. He also travelled to Hunan and Fujian Province researching Ziranmen\, eventually becoming the first Westerner formally accepted as a disciple by Grandmaster Lu Yao Qin of Ziranmen. In 2013\, he settled in Hong Kong and continues to teach Ziranmen\, embodying and promoting the profound cultural and philosophical roots of Chinese martial arts. Rudy holds a BFA with Honours from Pratt Institute. \n  \nAll are welcome.  \nSpaces are limited. Please sign up at this link.
