Listening to Prairie: Conspiring with Plants

What does it mean to escape wide-spread agricultural cultivation? What does it mean to see plants as collaborators and to give agency to non-human beings? This project is grounded in listening to plants, looking to them, and thinking about their call to place. Collaborating with the non-human co-inhabitants of Douglas County open space containing remnant prairie, with a special focus on native plants, Megan will create interactive, deep listening prompts, poems, and photographs geared toward opening our hearts towards sharing wonder and reciprocal love and joy with plants and other non-human co-inhabitants.
