Description
Care Ecologies gathering with artist-researcher ro heinrich (she/they)on the politics of grammars and language, and how these conjure, foster, impede or sever different ways of relating
— eg. with Earth, entities, sentient beings.
During the session, ro will be sharing her practice through film screening, embodied listening, and word sensing through our relations with Earth and inhabiting a care ecology of words that offers ways of being-in-relation.
Grammars map relationships between words. They structure our sentences, reflexively. Quietly, quite unnoticed, they guide habits and patterns in how words relate. Not only on a page, but in words spoken.
In thinking. In sensing. In imagining.
Grammars shape ways of relating in everyday encounters and perceptions.
What becomes un-thinkable, un-imaginable, within these structures?
How might a relation- and process-oriented language, a verb-based language, enable different ways of being in relation
— with Earth and different living beings within and around us?
A language of being in-becoming with, in-relation with, in-transition with…, …, …
Working through (recorded) conversation and collaboration, ro’s practice is multidisciplinary, with an emphasis on film and book making.
Their care for words is also practised in their various editorial and translation roles in arts publishing.
