Preparing Sami-Lakota Dialogues in Gothenburg

What can a cod concert sound like? What can be learned from animal communication? How do we understand animals ? Can water be a being?

Animals communicate amongst each other. Their communication offer new perspectives on language and a peek into a fascinating non-human world. Experience music based on the cods mating calls, learn more about how seal pups communicate and how Water can be viewed as the first form of consciousness on the planet.

A group of artists, researchers and activists will reflect on these questions on April 18. We will collaborate with Morgondagens konstpublik to bring Lakota activist Tiokasin Ghosthorse to Sweden.

To prepare, we organise a one day workshop on March 12 together with and at Sjöfartsmuseet in Gothenburg.
