The residency at wpZimmer furthers the artistic research of the \u201cInstitute for Relocation of Biodiversity\u201d* To this end, Christina Stadlbauer, Bartaku Vandeput and Bach Nguyen invite new voices: researchers with whom they have not collaborated with before. Also, the widening of the notion of biodiversity is envisioned by involving new species and new concepts that represent diversity.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As for the framework they depart from the question: \u201cWhat does a \u201creal\u201d engagement, a true encounter with our environment mean?\u201d<\/em> They dive into reflections on non-hierarchical \u00b4hybrid communities\u2019, ecological equality, the principles of diversity and symbiosis, holobionts, entanglements and a critical exploration of colonial values that are engrained in our way of seeing the world.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n During the residency, they propose to open the Institute as well to both the team of wpZimmer and possibly a peer public departing from the time-resistant ontological question: what are our sapientic blind spots when working with other-than-sapiens entities?<\/em> Is it at all possible to engage with species without invading, enslaving, exploiting and instead accepting them as expert agencies ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n They would like their work to be inspired by sjamanistic traditions, rituals, art practice, and include hands-on practices to invite and create embodied knowledge like lucid dreaming, meditation, hypnotherapy directed towards the other-than-sapiens to connect.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6937,"template":"","class_list":["post-6936","residencies","type-residencies","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
