Earth 4: Forests

Host: Lutz Koepnick In today’s episode of Art of Interference we speak with Ursula Biemann, a Swiss artist based in Zurich. Her work over the last decades has explored forests in the Amazon and the Andes as critical engines of planetary life. In her widely exhibited films and installations Biemann continually seeks to bridge existing divides between Indigenous knowledge systems and Western science. We also hear from biologist and conservation ecologist Malu Jorge about the wonders of carrying out research in the rainforest, and from scholar Mark Anderson about the rights of nature movement and how Amazonian cosmologies emphasize the sociality and intelligence of nonhuman entities.
