Multispecies Speculations and Growing Lexicon

To think of a planet where all beings have equal rights and agency is to think of sustainable futures. What kinds of ecological, unalienated, more-than-human, and entangled worlds can be made? The online interdisciplinary art project – Samtal Jameer, Samtal Jameen (Equal Terrains, Equal Selves) of which this publication is a part, brings together a diverse group of invited participants to elaborate upon what could be a multispecies world. These include thinkers, academics, artists, poets, scientists, activists, and others who are engaging with such an idea. Our broader attempt is also to make accessible and democratize spaces and frameworks to address discussion of key urgent ecological contemporary questions which impact all of us, through engaging with them in an everyday, dialogical way.
