Bwystori Bethesda Bestiary

A multi-tongued gathering, portmanteau transcription, performance and entangling of 400+ species within 1km of the centre of a quarried town in North Wales. Words written in ink extracted from oak apple galls creating a rhizome between human and animal, plant and molecule. Lines spreading across taxa, living things, places. Mapping an exploration between species and sounds, to create intersections of complexity through lateral transcription at the edge of our perception.

“Only with intense commitment and collaborative work and play with other terrans, flourishing for rich multispecies assemblages that include people will be possible” - Donna Haraway
