Not the best storyline, but it is still impressive how a #documentary about insects ("the giants") can give you a deeper understanding on evolution's limitless possibilities. #Nature, #multispecies , #evolution (which for me includes #revolution ) rock!:)

This Sat 15 Nov, 13:00–16:00, the 2nd School for MultiSpecies Knowledges hosts its first public session in Amstelpark @zone2source. Join us to walk, sit, sense and nongkrong with the more-than-human. Drop in anytime and follow our process at the 'denkraam' in the Rietveld House, where nettle soup from the park will be served.

How can #EnvironmentalHealth focus on #multispecies connections rather than on pathologizing life forms as threats?

New #GeniusLoci article!

Let's talk hospitals! For a #fantasy world, GL can heal a lot. There are some #worldbuilding theory thoughts in there too.
The illustration is one of my favourite I ever did for the setting, showing a redforester elf taking an antidote despite their multilayered armour/clothing getup.

Last Saturday, as part of the symposium of "Encuentro entre Especies y Espectros: De la bioacústica a la escucha profunda en las artes mediales", I was invited to give a talk titled "Multi-Species Sounding and Sensing - Responsive Sonic Networks". I had the change to revisit some projects I co-curated in the past, amongst them, REUSE >> REFUSE, an audio-visual series that highlighted the dimension of sound into the discourse on refusal and renewal. I also spoke about Kevin Space's first summer school "Intimate Assemblages #1 Ecologies" that foregrounded the need for more affective dimensions, and more speculative and embodied research and somatic ways of learning and knowing.

If you are interested in multi-species sounding and sensing using responsive sonic networks and expanded modes of listening to better understand our shared ecologies, please reach out. I am happy to exchange and expand together on this.

Community Efforts to Care for Animals During Climate Disasters:
Experiences and Recommendations from an Australian Bushfire Affected Region

"Formal disaster prevention, preparation, risk management, and response remain highly anthropocentric, with non-human animals afforded minimal attention, resourcing, and support. This article reports on informal community efforts to care for non-human animals during and after the 2019/2020 “Black Summer” bushfires in Australia, when over three billion animals were killed, injured, or displaced."

"Key findings are that:
human communities understood and treated non-human animals as part of their communities; humans went to extraordinary lengths to care for and rescue animals; these efforts were largely invisible to, and unsupported—even condemned—by formal emergency management agencies. We conclude that human-centric emergency and disaster management policies are at odds with community values and behaviors. We argue that disaster management must evolve to accommodate and support the realities of community-based rather than individual-based approaches, and must simultaneously expand to consider communities as multispecies."
