LEARNING FROM THE TREES
RADICAL OBSERVATION EXERCISE
Multispecies Etnography based on the Zoönomic Method
This excercise is inspired by Multispecies Urbanism, Debra Solomons contribution to the exhibition in the Dutch pavilion in Venice It puts forward a just urban development driven by giving primacy to reciprocal relations between humans and more-than-human. Multispecies Urbanism describes the methods, values, and domains in which the natural world’s inhabitants acquire agency, and in which humans become participants in multispecies communities.
The exercise was developed as a tool for Pollination Academy, which offers learning on the natural and social worlds of the city, how they are entangled, and promot ecosystem stewardship. An important step is to ask questions and wonder to be able to prepare future actions contributing to the ecosystems in which we partake.
