This publication gives physical form to a process of self-examination and material research that strives to embody the physical and spiritual aspects of our existence. A fragmented bilingual poem combined with appropriated words from Lucretius, Rosi Braidotti, Marcel Proust, Ali Smith, Clarissa Pinkola Estés, and Clarice Lispector; photographs capturing traces of a 16 mm and video installation; performing hands as a symbol of the self, of the need to inhabit our own skin, to recognise each one of us are body and spirit, language and memory, matter surrounded by matter, an archive of transformations and relations. 

A curated collection of a variety of art manifestations investigating the relationships between human/other animals and the shifting categories of wild/feral/domestic.

becoming—Feral curates a prismatic and multifaceted perspective on our understandings of other-animals and their ‘wildness’ through the re-imagined form of a bestiarum vocabulum (book of beasts). In this curated and edited collection poems, scholarly prose, musical composition, ecological research, lyric essays, performance documentation, and visual art sit alongside each other as we propose ferality in four approaches: Feral Relations, Feral Acts, Feral Collectives, and Feral Futures. 

becoming—Feral is a creative research publication which aims to investigate the complex relationships between human/other-animals and the shifting categories of wild/feral/domestic, set within landscapes constantly being altered by global transformations of climate and capitalism. We are interested in exploring reciprocal and responsive multispecies reactions to the act of becoming-Feral.
