How do we make space for a continuum between human and non-human others, setting intentions beyond binaries and towards integrative spectrums? What can we glean about our city from its messy edges where buildings crumble while rats, weeds, and trash piles thrive?
A series of workshops involving actions and writings that embodied learning and healing practices for the urban Anthropo-Plantationo-cene. Sessions focused on the exploration of radical place-based actions for building solidarities with land– following Donna Haraway’s instance of naturecultures; in which the two terms cannot be separated. Session happened in streets and vacant lots of Red Hook, touching plants and reading suggested texts in collaboration with andrea haenggi, Zeelie Brown and Ellie Irons, as well as with darren patrick and Jane Bennett.
