Poetry Of Coexistence

Inspired by the slogan « We are the living world defending itself », this visual research is an attempt to reforest our imaginations with current examples of places where the act of respectfully inhabiting a territory became a powerful tool of resistance. By highlighting environmental movements advocating for bodies and territories liberation, this project aims to give a voice to the living beings representatives seeking to resist against privatisation, exploitation and the destruction of ecosystems, often wrongly considered as uninhabited by a capitalist and colonialist system of domination. Guided by ecofeminist and Indigenous writings, this visual research proposes to discover places where symbiotic bonds of coexistence are uniting living beings with their ecosystem, care and regeneration practices are provided, community and free circulation are encouraged, Mother Earth’s figure celebrated, and all living beings considered as equals.
