How do we cultivate kinship with a forest, with its mosses, ferns, and trees? Since 2021, ecoqueer artist Zheng Bo has been collaborating with DACE (Dance Art Critical Ecology) and Scandinavian dancers to experiment in a forest in Dalarna, Sweden. The first chapter of their inquiry was presented as a film at the 59th Venice Biennale. This spring, they will continue the exploration in a forest outside of Helsinki. Small groups of audience will be able to join them in the forest, to experience more-than-human intimacy. The audience is welcome to a unique event to experience the closeness of the forest guided by dancers!
