These Relations Are Forever
These Relations Are Forever uses the thematic thread of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) to weave a speculative story of ritual and healing, where scientific and policy outcomes are intertwined with artistic processes. It will bring together the knowledge of four researchers from the Joint Research Centre (JRC), whose work sits at different stations along a flow of chemicals; from agriculture via law and policy through bodies and into water. The four researchers are presented as Wise Women, holders of knowledge and protectors of life; their scientific practices are reframed as relations of care and ritual becomes a vehicle to make connections across bodies, scales, cycles and scientific disciplines. This work will address fertility, community and (more-than-human) health, telling stories that explore the power of positive imaginaries, offering a way of ‘staying with our troubles’ whilst envisioning alternative ways of being in the world.
In collaboration with Caterina Cacciatori, Sandra Coecke, Irene Guerrero Fernandez and Saskia Vermeylen four rituals will be developed that make space to acknowledge our entanglement with chemicals, to celebrate the healing and restorative capacities of bodies and ecosystems and to give space to and thanks for these processes.
