Pınar Sinopoulos-Lloyd (they/them) is a distinguished anti-disciplinary artist, multi-species futurist, wildlife tracker, and Indigenous eco-philosopher. Co-founder of Queer Nature with their spouse So in 2015, Pınar leads this transdisciplinary "organism" dedicated to nurturing an earth-based queer community through Multi-Species Relations, Nature-Intimacy, and Critical Natural History/Futuring.

Enchanted by the liminal, Pınar is a mutation of landscapes being Quechua and Chinese from their mother’s side and Turkish on their father’s. Infusing monstrosity as an emergence in much of their work, Pınar explores what they call Weaving Psychonautics: Autistic phenomenology, ontological dissolution, and an Indigenous perspective on attachment theory, which includes ecological co-regulation. They offer a visceral exploration of an Indigenous Eros of Beyond Human BDSM through the multi-species language of pressure and entanglement practices, encompassing basketweaving, wildlife tracking, and prescribed fire.

In 2023, Pınar achieved a groundbreaking milestone, becoming the first racialized person to attain a Track & Sign Professional (Level IV) certification from Tracker Certification North America. Pınar sees wildlife tracking as central to their Reindigenizing process, reclaiming Native lifeways, stewarding Ayllu (multi-species kinship ties), and restoring Ayni (entangled reciprocity) that has been systemically disrupted. #LifewaysBack

Their lived experiences with transness, hybridity, neurodivergence, psychiatric abolition, Indigeneity, and belonging/othering inform their development of Queer Ecopsychology through a decolonial lens.

Informed by the enduring wisdom of rivers and creeks that perpetually haunts them, Pınar's research is guided by awe, adoration, and enchantment. They are captivated by the shrubsteppes and high deserts of the Columbia and Colorado Plateaus, expressing profound admiration for Kangaroo Rats, Rubber Boas, Poorwills, Bitterroot, and Pygmy Short-Horned Lizards, whom they honorably share their sagebrush habitat within the Columbia Basin.

Recipient of the 2021 Black Millennials 4 Flint’s Young, Gifted & Green 40 under 40 award, the 2020 Audubon National Society's National Environmental Champion, and the R.I.S.E. Indigenous 2020 Art & Poetry Fellowship, Pınar's impactful work has garnered attention from prominent publications such as The Guardian, New York Times, and YES! Magazine. Their contributions are further acknowledged by the United States Library of Congress, which archived their Queer Nature website in the LGBTQ+ Studies Web Archive.

Pınar's influence extends to presenting and keynoting at prestigious venues, including the Guggenheim Museum and Stanford University. Additionally, they actively facilitate at institutions like Colorado College, University of Colorado - Boulder, and Weaving Earth’s Attune program (formerly WE Immersion).

As a founding Council Member of Intersectional Environmentalist, founding ambassador of Native Womens Wilderness, and a founding member of the Diversify Outdoors coalition and the Outdoorist Oath, Pınar continues to contribute significantly to intersectional environmental initiatives.
