Stinging science by Institute for Multi-Species-Singing

Al-Qaisi, the only fixed member of  the Institute for Multi-Species-Singing imagine swamps through cooking and tasting nettle, listening, speculating and playing in conjunction to the work of researcher, artist and filmmaker Jeanna Kolesova present as current resident of Künstler*innenhaus Büchsenhausen. How do we find wetlands and what they whisper to us in nowadays greedy modernity? What water stories do they tell? 

The two artists, Yasmeen and Jeanna, look for language in the calls of birds and frogs, the bubbly whispers of humid mosses and the sonorous murmuring of the world of insects always in conjunction to history, science and their data. Together, we aim to uncover new ways to use our imagination and critical thinking, plus other artistic methods to get curious about our immediate surroundings.
