Description
This paper investigates ecologically attuned knowledge practices that emerge at the intersections of human-made borders, the ecological processes of the more-than-human world and creative interventions to expose and build upon these dynamics. By reviewing a range of art-based projects and communal resources that reflect on and work with ‘borders’ we seek to tease out ways of knowing and modes of being that connect and heal rather than separate, transforming familiar imaginations of both sovereign borders and the environment. In this effort, drawing inspiration from Jacques Rancière’s politics of aesthetics, decolonial thinking and eco-feminism we seek to destabilize the aesthetic distribution of bodies, capacities and movement across time and space, drawing out alternative political imaginations for communal being.
