Perceiving Otherwise: Ecological Imagination and Experiential Practice in Polycrisis

In this talk transdisciplinary artist Nancy Baker Cahill discusses projects in her research-based practice that ask how expanded forms of perception might foster greater empathy, collective awareness, and mutual responsibility within an increasingly unstable world. She addresses some of the technological and biological systems that shape perception and how creative co-building might help us navigate overlapping existential crises.
