As the year turns, we find ourselves returning to what has carried us: the slow intelligence of fieldwork, the ethics of attention, and the moments when art and science move in the same current, without needing to become the same language.

New Article: On Åland, something subtle is shifting. 🌀Artists, scientists, and more-than-human beings are leaning toward each other, not as separate worlds, but as co-creators of environmental knowledge, listening across tides and textures. This new article in Nya Åland highlights Currents of Kinship and the growing movement where research, art, ecology, and imagination meet to stay with the wicked problems of the Baltic Sea, a gathering of care, attention, and kinship around the water. (LINK in comments)

Warm gratitude to our partners NIPÅ, Husö Biological Station, Kulturvillan, and all contributors and collaborators for holding space where art and science can meet. The currents continue to move. 🌊🟢 https://www.nyan.ax/kultur/miljokampen-forenar-forskare-och-konstnarer/
