Project Description

Psychometry (IIC) in artistic practice.

It was a pleasure to present my paper and research-creation at the International Multispecies Methods Research Symposium (2023, May 8-12), University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Canada.

“The Multispecies Methods Research Symposium is a unique event that brings together scholars, artists, Indigenous Knowledge Keepers, animal care providers, and animal communicators to share knowledge, ideas, and build a multi-sectoral (and multispecies) research community. Focusing on intuitive interspecies communication (IIC), our purpose is to share knowledge and build collaborations to support research that enhances our collective goal: to listen to the voices of animals and nature1 for the wellbeing of all.”
