About this exposition

In Stray: Human-Animal Ethics in the Anthropocene (Power Publication, 2017), film scholar Barbara Creed introduces “straying” as a unifying concept between human and animal life in the Anthropocene. The obvious question – What could straying with more than human beings look like? – remains unanswered. As a response, this project aims to establish straying as a research-based methodology. Creed defines the stray as an abandoned creature and declares its marginalized existence to be a precondition for being named a stray. In contrast, my project attempts to activate other and more affirmative potentials to the condition of straying.
