What this post argues beta

  • Art-based research is a legitimate and necessary form of environmental and climate knowledge-making, not merely supplementary to scientific fieldwork.
  • The 'field' is not a neutral site but a politically and ecologically charged location that must be reimagined through speculative and creative practice.
  • Non-human worlds and multispecies entanglements demand methodologies that go beyond anthropocentric sensing, including sound, movement, and image.
  • Radical ecological futures require radical artistic practices — speculation and proposition are political acts.
