Inspired by the motto ‘We are nature defending itself’, this project aims to highlight the universality and current multiplication of environmental movements advocating for land and bodies liberation. Through their opposition to the capitalist, colonial and patriarchal system based on domination, these guardians of the living world aim to protect from privatisation, exploitation and destruction, ecosystems which are often wrongly considered uninhabited.

Guided by eco-feminist and Indigenous writings, this sensitive and poetic visual research seeks to explore the symbiotic bonds of coexistence that unite human and non-human beings with their ecosystems. Taking a close interest in the convergence of European and indigenous social movements such as those of the Zones to defend and Florestania, this project seeks to reforest our imaginations with actual examples of spaces of resistance where the principles of common land and free circulation are promoted, Mother Earth’s figures celebrated, and living beings considered as equal.
