______________________________________________________________________

I am like endless artists and curators in worldwide networks working with the themes and explorations of the more-than-human world, making kin, becoming- with (Donna Haraway), multispecies, entanglement (Merlin Sheldrake, Karen Barad,) Hydrofeminism/Bodies of Water (Astrida Neimanis) interconnectedness, geo/eco poetry performance, deep listening (Pauline Oliveros), sensuous learning (Sisters Hope), co-existence in multiple ways.
