Abstract

Strange Natures is a collection of reflections from different places, times and vantage points, different ways of noticing, seeing, listening and inhabiting reality. The collection shows many ways of understanding and experiencing ‘strange natures’, from nomadic river islands and the call-and-response of bullfrogs in India, to the haunted floodplains of Texas; from strange patterns in bird flights off the Scottish coast, to stories and poems that challenge the boundaries of selves and bodies. The zine invites us to abolish the rational, to find re-enchantment, to embrace the weirdness of the world as we know it, and accept the inevitability of transformation in a changing, vastly-more-than-human universe of possibilities. For more information, please see the Future Natures website.
