The Foragers: Engagements beyond the Human

History EN ↓ 3 episodes

In this second season, we delve into The Foragers: Engagements beyond the Human, a series of public events that brings together artists, researchers, and enthusiasts around the practice of foraging. Host and co-curator Gosie Vervloessem speaks with artists about foraging as a method, a metaphor, and a way of rethinking care, community, and our relationship with the more-than-human world. An invitation to ask: what do we take from places, and how do we honour that exchange?
