Earth Others
A leaf a gourd a shell a net a bag a sling a sack a bottle a pot a box a container. A holder. A recipient.
(Ursula K. Le Guin, “The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction,” 1986)
magining and caring for other worlds, Earth Others gathers several positions contemplating the precarious conditions of living on a devastated planet. They relate shared places to their exhausted futures and spectral pasts, tracing different practices of co-inhabiting knowledges and stories by thinking with landscapes, animals, ponds, vegetables.
