Starting with the idea that we are composite entities, just like how synthetic things are composed of multiple parts, ‘Synthetic Becoming’ is a peer-reviewed collective monograph with many components. Bringing together the research of over 30 artists, activists, and feminist technoscience practitioners, the contributors critically examine the effects of industrial, pharmaceutical, and hormonally-active molecules on us. Adopting an approach that is decolonised, feminist, post-humanist, and new materialist, this book hopes to help envision and facilitate more hopeful futures despite the ubiquity of these anthropogenic chemicals.
