The conference of the birds is a transdisciplinary and socially engaged art project exploring creative ways to coexist with birds in a more-than-human world. The project reflects on different bird cultures in the Nordic countries and Russia. We want to examine and understand shared human-avian histories and to create new lines of thought and action to ensure the continuance of our co-existence in an uncertain future. 

The project commences with a series of site-specific collaborations between artists and bird researchers called Nests. The processes and results of these collaborations have become a series of ongoing events and exhibitions in the participating countries. However, unfortunately due to the global situation, the collaboration with Russia is currently on hold.
