Ecological spaces inspire us to deepen our breath as we traverse new landscapes.

On inhalation, new knowledge(s) become embodied as fauna, animal life, and microscopic species breathe with us. In this way, we can create a reciprocity of connection through the breath – and it’s with this breath we traverse the digital by recognising online spaces as living and breathing environments.

A longing to connect to ecological spaces, across borders and within the digital, has informed this residency; bringing Venice, Australia, the United Kingdom and other localities across oceans together to build an online environment focused on ecological practices, theories and pedagogies.

Delve into shared conversations and collaborations from artists, researchers, performers, food researchers, photographers and architects of each region as we build connections between ecological spaces and places through imagery, written work, and listening artworks.

Journey with us through these spaces to explore how we can create companion networks.

Make Interspecies Relations acts as a living library platform where the entanglement of people, places and practices can come together to grow and connect.
