4 walks & a panel discussion
Can we extend the « we » of a team or a group of friends to trees and more-than-human beings? How do you do that?
Is it possible, as an artist, to grant copyright to the trees you collaborate with, as well as decision-making power and a legal presence in an organization? How do you make this concrete, in communication, materially, and administratively?
