Feral Nest: Multispecies Sense~making

Original language description

The Feral Nest brings together artists and researchers of various backgrounds to experiment with their diverse approaches to sensing – and making sense – with multispecies ecologies. The Nest contributors – visual and performance artists, filmmakers, designers, sociologists, photographers, mushroom foragers, reindeer herders – are invited to introduce their work and share the practices, intuitions, and ways of knowing that guide their multispecies research and everyday-life inquiries. We will gather in the former cinema space of Petrohradská kolektiv, around a still-functional cinema screen that will serve as our shared canvas – to show audiovisual narratives, sound stories, still imagery, and various other formats capturing moments of multispecies co-existence, where human and other-than-human lives came together in an intentional attempt to understand and make sense with each other. The contributions shown on the cinema canvas will serve as a starting point for co-creative reflection (workshops, sensory walks, tasting sessions, games, and more) among the event participants. Organised as a continuation of the Feral Fields sympoiesium and the Living with Feral Ecologies festival, the Feral Nest offers a space for co-creative experiments with feral ways of thinking and practising with multispecies ecologies. Feral ways, like the creatures who roam them, thrive beyond boundaries, in the liminal places between the wild and the domesticated, the familiar and unknown, the serendipitous and intentional. They are curvy, lively and surprising, inviting spontaneous journeys that can lead to unexpected moments in space and time. They shape and are shaped by the landscape they inhabit, inviting embodied, sensory-rich explorations, observations, and chance encounters. Following these directions, feral ways connect diverse human and other-than-human creatures, practices, and knowledges and bring them into shared moments of co-creative, transdisciplinary inquiry. Starting from here, we will engage with the following (and possibly many more) questions: ~ How can we, as human researchers and practitioners, think and collaborate with other-than-humans? ~ How can we learn from – and make sense with – each other in a mutual way, beyond the unidirectional mode of humans observing and making sense of other creatures? ~ How could these engagements look, sound, smell, taste, and feel like? The Feral Nest is hosted by Markéta Dolejšová with the feral support of Gloria Lauterbach and open to anyone who wants to join (free entry). The Nest murmurations will be captured by the Uroboros friend~photographer Ondřej Hons. A feral experimental catering will be happening throughout the event – and you can always bring more snacks, drinks, and other offerings.
