Remedies For Species Loneliness + Other Ailments of Modern Society
This Podcast is part of an ever evolving, multifaceted endeavor to shift the narrative away from historically dominant male perspectives that have glorified human conquest over nature, while overlooking, and silencing the contributions of women and marginalized communities.
“Conglomerate Knowledges – Remedies For Species Loneliness,” advocates for a paradigm shift towards a more nurturing and interconnected relationship with the more-than-human world.
By challenging the current systems that emphasize the notion of humans as “masters over nature”, the project seeks disrupt and decentralize our human perspective, and offers methods towards fostering profound respect, reverence and connection for our more-than-human kin. It aims to portray nature not as a commodity to be exploited, but as a network of interconnected beings, existing in kinship, reciprocity, community, and experienced with a sense of awe.
“Remedies For Species Loneliness” is an effort to re|kindle our deep ancestral ties to the more-than-human world as a means of cultivating pathways of care towards our planet and the complex communities that encompass it.
Central to the project is an exploration of “species loneliness” and its impact on human-to-more-than-human relationships, as well as its role in exacerbating planetary destruction and the erosion of community bonds. Through various artistic mediums such as visual art, interviews, audiovisual projects, and written publications, the project endeavors to elucidate the consequences of species loneliness and propose solutions rooted in ecofeminist principles.
The project also prompts critical questions about the historical dominance of male voices in scientific inquiry and exploration – and academia as the gatekeeper of knowledge. It asks how the inclusion of diverse voices, particularly those of women and marginalized communities, might have altered our understanding of nature and alerted us to the dangers of exploitation. Moreover, it reflects on whether a more inclusive approach could have preserved our intimate connection with the more-than-human world while still advancing technological progress.
