The vegetal subject and our listening co-create each otherĭjirri Djirri Dance Group + Damien NicholsonĮach Tuesday 2 – 5PM throughout Why Listen to Plants? we will meet, read, and listen to each other.
Ivey Wawn (with Amaara Raheema, Arini Byng, Evan Loxton, Jimmy Nuttall, Lucien Alperstein, Megan Payne + Shota Matsumura) Possible conditions for multicellular entanglement Through both onsite and offsite programming across three themes, these practitioners critically consider plants in relation to wider eco-systems of activity. Each weekly cycle began with a keynote by a leading expert or authority in the field moved into workshops and problem solving for discussions and questions and culminated in live performance with a critical focus. Using bees, fungi and microbes as social protagonists, over the course of three weeks we explored this question – Why Listen to Plants? – through the prism of sound and listening. Why Listen to Plants? featured artists, designers, musicians and scientists who use various strategies to extend the logic of vegetal thinking into sound and listening.

With so much to say, these super-organisms suggest expanded definitions of both non-human subjectivity, and the listening – discursive, decentred, yet embodied – necessary to tune into them.Īdrian Dyer & Scarlett Howard (RMIT), Aidyn Mouradov, Alicia Frankovich (NZ/DE), Amaara Raheem, Ann Lawrie (RMIT), Anthony Magen, Arini Byng, Jess Gall + Rebecca Jensen, Autumn Royal + Ela Stiles, Auntry Annette Xiberras, Ben Byrne, Benjamin Woods, Charlie Sofo, Danni Zuvela, Damien Nicholson, Debris Facility, Diego Bonetto, Djirri Djirri Dance Group, DJ Slime, Dylan Martorell, Floris Vanhoof (BE), Geoff Robinson, Gian Manik, Hannah Hallam Eames (NZ), Holly Childs (NZ/NL) + Gediminas Zygus (LI), Ivey Wawn (with Amaara Raheema, Arini Byng, Evan Loxton, Jimmy Nuttall, Lucien Alperstein, Megan Payne and Shota Matsumura), Jenna Sutela (FIN), Justin Clemens, Kalle Hamm (FIN), Katie West, Kelp D/J + Benjamin Hancock, Kirsten Bradley + Nick Ritar, Lz Dunn, Madeleine Mills, Magic Steven, Makiko Yamamoto (JP/AU), Maria Chavez (US/PE), Marjolijn Dijkman + Toril Johannessen (NED/NOR), Michael Marder (US), Monica Gagliano (IT/AU), Nathan Gray, Nic Dowse, Radha Labia, Scale Free Network (Briony Barr + Gregory Crocetti), Scott Mitchell (RMIT), Tarquin Manek + Ying-li Hooi, Tyson Campbell (NZ/AU), Walon Green (USA), Wet Kiss, Zheng Bo (HK) Through talks, screenings, workshops, performances, reading groups and residencies, we explored plants as sites of collective organisation, and their collaborators microbes, fungi and bees as social protagonists. In this program of experimental plant-listening, we attempted to model the best features of these interspecies entanglements (reciprocity, mutualism, collective intelligence) while leaving behind the worst (co-dependency, parasitism). Less competitive than they are collaborative, these interspecies co-operations position plant partners as important co-creators of vegetal life - and suggest that mutual aid may be as much a condition of material existence as mutual struggle. Plants communicate through these interspecies proxies, passing messages through pollen, bacteria, and along underground filaments of vast mycelial networks. In the course of survival in its environment, a plant cultivates relationships with various non-human others with whom it shares the earth and air. Plants exist within plurality they are part of, and themselves contain, many worlds. Plants know worlds, they contain worlds and they make worlds
