Specula group is an artistic and editorial collective based in Bucharest, founded in 2021. Their practice revolves around speculation as an important proposition for rethinking the naturecultures, contaminating rationality with fantasy, science with imagination, knowledge with affects. The group is currently developing Specula Magazine, which encourages effort, error and vulnerability in form of unfinished-middle-ing texts, translated theory from a reasoned form to a compassionate one, drawings sounds, impossible-to-end- essays, failed description of the worlds, future fictions and conlangs. Over the past two years, they’ve organised events shaped as installations and unconventional readings, staging encounters between local histories, present-day communities, and contemporary artistic practices.
