Description
“Empathetic Ethnography” is a practice-led visual arts study, emphasising the creation of ephemeral beeswax sculptures and installations made in collaboration with European honeybees. It is rooted in Timothy Morton's (2010) assertion that human-centric behaviours are fuelling ecological devastation, advocating instead for a shift towards ecocentric values. The study investigates how affective art installations, co-created with honeybees, can foster ecocentric perspectives. It employs a multispecies ethnography to acknowledge the sentient agency of non-humans. These installations are designed to cultivate empathy towards bees, and by extension, other non-human beings.
Impact and interest:
