Discussion with Amanda Thomson abouot Care and Attention Across Forms. This is part of a wonderfully organised festival by Lucy Cash and Luke Pell that brings together artists across forms to consider:

“Experiments have shown that it’s not just fireflies, fish, jellyfish, and mushrooms that can shimmer, flash or glow in the dark, but also humans. Anthropocene glow is too faint to be perceived with the naked eye but it’s there all the same, perhaps reflecting the fact that inside every body, fragments of stardust remain. Over the last eighteen months we have been thinking about touch, and what it is to touch and be touched in the current version of the world we find ourselves in. We have been curious about the ways in which imagination, care and attention are intertwined and how the adaptations we find ourselves making can be an impetus for ways of being that resource and sustain us and shift away from practices of self-extraction and exhaustion.”
