Listening is a practice that unfolds through many different ways of knowing.
These different modes of listening invite you to encounter whales through science, music, art, history, poetry, embodiment, kinship, and pluri-generational ancestral knowledge.
how do you want to listen?
Listening with Whales musically through sonic relations between humans and whales, live improvisations, and countless compositions.
Listening with Whales scientifically through bioacoustics and genetics to understand whale communication, multigenerational cultural exchanges, and genetic transmission.
Listening with Whales ancestrally through First Nation and Indigenous cosmologies, kinship, reciprocity, and ceremonial practices.
Listening with Whales historically through ears past, archival work, and long forgotten now rediscovered histories.
Listening with Whales erosically through epistemic humility, vulnerability, desire, and grief, to foster change and relational comraderie with the more-than-human world.
Listening with Whales globally across culture, oceans, migrations, to discover our interconnections across the world.
Listening with Whales poetically through metaphor and our ability to imagine ourselves through them, to learn and co-sense with whales, through whales, and translate it into words.
This is a living project, growing and changing.
We are sharing it now, in its early form to invite collaboration, connection, and participation in what is becoming.
