Brigitta Stone-Johnson (Brigs) is an artist, architect, and gardener who lives in Johannesburg, South Africa. She has been a lecturer and creative practice researcher at the Wits School of Architecture (SoAP) since 2016. Her work and research in posthuman geographies focus on materiality, deeptime and the Anthropocene through collaborations with more-than-human oddkin, currently stone, Tar, rubble, and plastic, and other contaminants in earth, air, water, explored through Artistic Practices, and spatial inquiry.
“Post-human geography is a field within geography that challenges traditional human-centric perspectives by analysing how humans are intertwined with non-human actors and the material world, moving beyond a simple human-nature binary. It draws on critical posthumanism to create philosophically rigorous and socially accountable frameworks, exploring future geographies that include technological and ecological shifts. Key concepts include the ‘more-than-human,’ actor-network theory (ANT), and multi-species ethnography, focusing on disconnectedness, fluid boundaries, and the political implications of these relations”.
