The Conference of the Birds wants to help lift our human gaze into a bird’s eye perspective, renewing the way people think about birds and finding new ways of welcoming and including birds back into our culture.
We have have had a number of local exhibitions and events with the individual project. And we have so far had one exhibition including a majority of the works from the different Nordic Nests and two seminars in collaboration with Norwegian Bioart Arena. You will find documentation of the various events below.
