Artist’s talk Aquaforming in the age of Aquatocene  will address interspecies sensing/sounding and communication in the context of human interaction with other creatures and forms of life in the new (ecological) realities of the marine Anthropocene.

Over the last decade, her projects have explored aquatic habitats from the perspective of the Anthropocene era, and our widespread impact on the oceans, seas and rivers and on creatures living in these environments.
