The daily practice of photographing lichen on bark developed from my interest in the bark of trees during the project Performing with Plants (2017-2019) and continued during the project Meetings with Remarkable and Unremarkable Trees (2020-2021). In this essay I return to these visual fieldnotes, compare the visual diary on Flickr with my previous journals on social media, and consider the potential of such practices for developing awareness of and a respectful relationship to other beings that we share this planet with.

While humanities are today calling for re-evaluation of the anthropocentric worldview and affection towards the non-humans, there crawls a small creature in the forests among other animals that evokes feelings of hatred and disgust in humans. The recent decades have witnessed an environmental change in the increase of tick populations and the expansion of tick-infested areas that is attributed to the continuous warming of our climate. This has led to a heightened awareness of ticks and tick-borne diseases that can be contracted by humans. It has also become evident that we need to learn to live with this pervasive proximity to increasing numbers of ticks, this situation will require new attitudes and adaptations from us that will potentially change our behaviors and routines. The article reports on an on-going artistic research project that investigates relations between ticks and humans from a perspective where artistic research meets with scientific research. It presents a contradicting case, in which a disgust and hatred towards ticks is reflected from an evolutionary co-agency perspective that claims that without our parasites – we, humans, would not be what we are today.

This paper analyzes the socially engaged art project Au milieu des bureux empilés and investigates if it can be possible to create open discursive spaces within schools for students to collectively develop conversations about the education system and their experiences of schooling. The article outlines one possible framework to do so and focuses on investigating the repercussions of these open discursive spaces in schools were students shared instances of lack of care. It explores how the developed conversations might have the potential to foster a certain sense of agency and of community within participatingstudents.
本文分析了社会参与艺术项目Au milieu des bureux empilsims,并调查了是否有可能在学校内为学生创造开放的话语空间,让学生集体开展关于教育系统和他们的上学经历的对话。本文概述了这样做的一个可能的框架,并侧重于调查这些开放话语空间在学生共享缺乏关怀的情况下对学校的影响。它探讨了发展的对话如何有可能在参与的学生中培养某种能动性和社区意识。

To meet the care needs of the rapidly ageing patient populations, the cultivation of a compassionate patient-centred healthcare culture has becomecentral in the value-based healthcare discourse. A participatory music practice, ‘Meaningful Music in Healthcare’ employs a person-centred approach tomusic-making in Dutch hospitals. A grounded theory analysis on ethnographically collected data suggests that music-making serves as a social change agent and cultural resource for catalysing compassionate contact between healthcare professionals and patients. Processes of experiential growth and shared valuesin music-making and healthcare help to enrich care relationships and allow the emotional dimension of nurses’ professional performance to be explored.

This joint article draws on artistic practices that showcase how relations to nature can articulate rituals of care and reciprocity in embodied experiences and sympoesis. It discusses active approaches to practicing sympathetic interaction with Nature by challenging our habitual processes of forming connection. The paper revolves around modes of exploitation in animal experiments and the lack of emotional knowledge and connection in science, in The Touch ofSoil by Dominik Fleischmann; and advocates for attention to soil, in Palpating Landscape by celine s diaz, as ritualistic extension of inclusiveness for thelandscape. Through creative writing, theoretic reflection and the photographic medium, both unravel deep concerns for the human-centred approach of viewing and engaging with the natural world and its habitants and advocate for a broader agency, action invoked in caring. Finding overlapping questions, this paper shows two practices of responsibility as empathy and care are evermore significant in our relationship with nature. These vulnerable acts comprehenddisruptive temporalities and propose a kinder but equally relevant message: “I care”.
这篇联合文章借鉴了艺术实践,展示了与自然的关系如何在具体化的体验和共鸣中表达关怀和互惠的仪式。它讨论了通过挑战我们形成联系的习惯过程来实践与自然的同情互动的积极方法。本文围绕着多米尼克·弗莱施曼《土壤的触摸》中动物实验的开发模式和科学中情感知识和联系的缺乏展开;在celine s diaz的《触感景观》(Palpating Landscape)中,倡导对土壤的关注,作为对景观包容性的仪仪性延伸。通过创造性的写作、理论反思和摄影媒介,两者都揭示了对以人为中心的观察和参与自然世界及其居民的深切关注,并倡导更广泛的机构,在关怀中采取行动。本文发现了重叠的问题,表明了在我们与自然的关系中,责任的两种实践,即同理心和关怀,越来越重要。这些脆弱的行为理解了破坏性的暂时性,并提出了一个更友善但同样相关的信息:“我在乎”。

This article evaluates an EU-funded research project called Visual art education in new times: Connecting Art with REal life issues (CARE), which studies the infusion of principles of Education for Sustainable Development in art education. It describes the central goals of this project and presents some findings related to a group of teachers’ participation in an online course related to the project and lessons they implemented subsequently. Informed by a relational framework that revolves around theories of care and responsibility, the article argues that art education can promote a commitment to action on issues of sustainability, extending our sense of care towards the broader environment, other species and ecosystems, and future generations. By developing lessons based on ‘big ideas’ like diversity, the public and conservation and change, teachers participating in CARE helped students understand connections between things, the importance of interpersonal relations and the value of collaborative learning for sustainability. Finally, CARE also embraced and promoted the idea that tertiary institutions can play a significant role in addressing real-life sustainability problems through teacher training.

In this visual essay, I argue that the gift economy generated through the Buy Nothing Project is a form of community care. Specifically, I will discuss how members in the Buy Nothing Project helped to make and unmake a research-creation exhibition in a university project space through their commitment to community building. Founded in the US, the Buy Nothing Project is a global network of thousands of hyper-local community groups that eschew a trational cash economy and instead advocate collaboration, community, sustainability, and creativity through a gift economy. The generous gifting from my local group enabled the making of my research exhibition through the contributions of bookcases, tables, ephemera, and small boxes. Several of the Buy Nothing Project members also became participants in the research, and they lingered in the space during the exhibition and related events. On the concluding day during its unmaking, objects and furniture in the research exhibition were gifted back to Buy Nothing members to deepen the connection of community care.

The artistic research is a combination of scholarly drawing, drawn bi-directional autoethnographies created in inseparable coop-eration with an emergent agent: Drawing.
