Amorphophallus
<p>With the third symposium Women on Earth we were seeking to understand the relations between feminism and species coexistence. The issue of nature—and of all that is naturalized or deemed unnatural by hegemonic discourses and policy—is of particular importance to gender issues, as is science. But a scientific and technical approach to the climate emergency cannot be accurate without taking into consideration how gender, racial, and economic violence foster our emergent ecocides, nor by how women—often poor and Indigenous women—are overwhelmingly at the forefront of this violence as the very first recipients of. What kind of political and cultural transformation must occur to make these entanglements obvious and of vital concern? How to counter this violence in all its manifold forms?</p> <p>In this episode artist Rossella Biscotti presents a body of works dealing with ancient storytelling and both biological and psychological phenomena like growth and resilience, reconstructing obscured moments and examining the recovered materials from today’s perspectives.</p>
