# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Design X Nature: Talk - Queer Ecologies Panel Discussion
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 17 Oct, 2026 at 03:00 pm – Sat, 17 Oct, 2026 at 04:00 pm (+11:00)
- **Event Description**: Working across queer ecology and landscape, which both question the line between what we call natural and unnatural, Courtney Coombs and guests ask ‘what changes when we stop ranking these categories and start paying attention to how they relate?’ Expect an open, exploratory conversation.

Courtney Coombs makes art, writes and facilitates to make sense of the world and their place in it. Their installation Protective Measures, in the Design X Nature exhibition, came out of time spent in these gardens, watching the temporary structures that protect newly turfed grass: the posts, ties and tape that look like clutter but shift with air and time. The work asks what we stop noticing as we move through a place. This panel takes that question seriously.
