Panel Discussion: Symbionts

There has been a recent push in science, the humanities and policymaking to understand human life as fundamentally entangled with non-human entities—a position at the heart of many First Nation epistemologies across the world. Rather than masters of the natural world, we are symbionts: organisms of different species that depend on one another. 

Join us for a cross-disciplinary roundtable with Mindjingbal/ Cudgenburra horticulturist and Gardening Australia presenter Clarence Slockee, D’harawal Saltwater Knowledge Keeper Shannon Foster, environmental humanities scholar Prudence Gibson, and designer, artist and curator Liane Rossler as they discuss collaborating with the more-than-human world.

Moderated by Sophie Rose, Associate Curator - Programs.
