We All Eat From Each Other: The act of feeding in more-than-human entanglements
(2024)

This thesis is an attempt to unfold multifaceted discussions in multispecies entanglements, focusing on the fundamental act of feeding—a process that extends beyond mere sustenance to become a critical interaction within the web of life. It interlaces a rich array of perspectives, combining academic research, artistic inquiry, and personal reflections to illuminate the diverse implications of feeding.
Urban Wild_Life: Exploring affective relationships with wild urban nature through creative digital practices
(2023)
author(s): Joanne Scott
published in: Research Catalogue
This research project arose from encounters with wild more than human beings in city spaces close to where I live. The encounters themselves were very rich, complex and flowing over with meanings and feelings that I couldn’t quite grasp in the moment of their happening. As a practitioner-researcher, I therefore chose to explore these feelings and meanings through creative practice, while also engaging in academic research to position these encounters in discourses, both directly relevant and those that resonate with the ideas and feelings arising. I characterise this as a project that aligns with and is productively informed by multispecies studies and practices. In its mixing of encounters with wild nature through primarily digital images and sounds, the practice activates an ‘ecology of technology’
Between plant fossils and oral histories: tracing vegetal imaginaries from Donbas, Ukraine
(2021)
author(s): Darya Tsymbalyuk
published in: RUUKKU - Studies in Artistic Research
This exposition brings together multiple contexts, narratives and modes of expression to tell multispecies (hi)stories about and from Donbas region, Ukraine, where a military conflict broke out in 2014. By engaging with fossils, paleobotany and testimonies of internally displaced persons, the exposition explores vegetal imaginaries of the region in a series of drawings and questions stories we tell about Donbas and displacement, and ways in which we tell them.

This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
My investigation into multispecies entanglements goes specifically to the divide between the day-to-day life that
people live and the attendance to their self-interests, and the overwhelm they feel about the impact of humans on the environment. The conflict of power to influence that impact leads to denial and despair. I am interested in that divide. My attention to this area, to losses not only large but small, draws attention and makes visible the losses and transformations that are constantly but slowly and subtly occurring from moment to moment - to imagine the lose-ability of the more-than-human life. In the iterations of this ongoing project, I enact the practices of vigilant mourning.
