Following the success of the podcast series ‘Introducing Foraging: a podcast in environmental humanities’, which ran from 25 November 2024 to 16 December 2024, the team behind the Foragency project is delighted to announce a new podcast series, which will run for the next four weeks. In this second season, we delve into The Foragers: Engagements beyond the Human, a series of public events that brings together artists, researchers, and enthusiasts around the practice of foraging. Host and co-curator Gosie Vervloessem speaks with artists about foraging as a method, a metaphor, and a way of rethinking care, community, and our relationship with the more-than-human world. An invitation to ask: what do we take from places, and how do we honour that exchange?
In A forest that answers back, the first episode of Season 2, Gosie Vervloessem sits down with sound artist Nele Möller and photographer Tim Theo Deceuninck. Nele works with field recordings, live audio streaming, listening, and mimicry – through long-term relationships with specific landscapes, including the Thuringian Forest. Tim makes images with botanical tinctures and low-tech “land cameras” built from the environments they portray. Together, they talk about resonance, making with non-human life, and foraging as a practice of attention.
