Biography
Research
In my research, I examine the potential of multispecies art in creating new ways of being, doing, and knowing at the threshold of the ecological and ethico-political crises of the Anthropocene. I am interested in multispecies care and collaboration as life-sustaining, relational activities, and as practices and principles that guide artmaking and research. The research is supported by the Kone Foundation.
