Seeds, Pollen, Future

The aim of the Seeds, Pollen, Future workshop is to nurture, form, grow, and become more aware of connections that are already there and those that are newly forged. First of all, the connection that we have with ourselves; with our feet, our wonderful giving and taking hands, our eyes, our nostrils, the deep part of our tongue. But also those with other humans, plants and phenomena such as sunshine and rain. As well as the connections across disciplines and modes of knowing. Erotic and aesthetic dimensions of our experience, I feel, are important in this process, and play a big role in claiming an embodied, living place, where we can be both within and without. What are we except for a living relation? And what does this imply for agency and identity?

At the end of the Spring School week the Seeds, Pollen, Future workshop group did a performance.

My practice explores the human relationship with the environment and draws parallels between human embodiment and other material embodiments, especially those of plants. It aims to expose these connections and participate in developing a stronger sense of belonging to ecosystems and to the larger community of beings that mutually inhabit our planet.
