Language of the Birds
Speculative research on the Human-Birds-Nature relationship
The Language of the Birds delves into the relationship between humans, birds, and Mother Earth, exploring the avian mantle of prophethood between the emerging race of men and their silent mother through speculative, fictional mythmaking. A series of de-anthropizing narratives from non-human perspectives invites us all to reflect and resituate ourselves with the idea that humans are not the sole perpetrators of this world’s narrative, but participants who stand equal with the rest of Gaia’s children.
