During the Transdisciplinary Roundtable participants discussed the process and emerging answers to the research question: 

​

“How can transformative artistic practice act as a bridge between the ecological and social to impact cultural understanding of interspecies cohabitation?” 

 

“...with joy. Hope-based communication must be practiced over apocalyptic doomsday scenarios to show what is to thrive.” (Natália Benish-Kalná)

 

 “Art can capture the immediate moment of this long ecological transformation.” 

“An artist can be a mediator of territory.” (Jan Fabián)

 

“The capacity of the artist is to work across disciplines to foster resilience/robustness, hold space and amplify the needs of the environment, human and more-than-human. The practitioner is a wearer of many hats, a weaver of worldviews and solutions.” (Gabriela Benish-Kalná)

 

“Art is showing rather than speaking, it is an embodied experience that transcends languages and can bypass the brain.” (Al Godwin)

 

“We create an artistic experience of relatability, a point of reference, a starting point for communicating.” (Kaitlin Wallace)

 

“Our work is to remind people that nature has never been a separate thing, to shift the perspective that we, humans, are in the home of more-than-human inhabitants.” (lwrds duniam)
