The Conference of the Birds
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. We examine our shared human-avian histories to create new lines of thought and action to ensure the continuance of our co-existence in an uncertain future.
The project commenced with a series of site-specific collaborations between artists, bird researchers and enthusiasts called Nests. The processes and results of these collaborations have become a series of ongoing events and exhibitions in the participating countries.
