Focusing on the relational interface between humans and plants, this project investigates listening and thinking relationships we form with plants. Shaped by speculative fabulations, questions, and relational frameworks inspired by queerfeminist perspectives, it traces relationships of listening-thinking through practices of reflecting, imagining, and companion listening with the plants in the winter garden.
The project centers on the idea that listening and being listened to—who or what is listened to, from where, and how—are inseparable. It foregrounds an understanding that subject and object exist and operate interconnected and entangled. In our practice of listening with the more-than-human, what might it mean to listen to ourselves in each other, and each other in ourselves? What could be know from our relation together?
