The artwork "Salm Ethos" by Michelle-Marie Letelier and Karin Pittman examines ethical issues related to the global exploitation of salmon. Federico Luisetti, Flurina Gradin, and Hernando Chindoy take this project as a starting point to discuss with curator Martina Huber about human-nonhuman interactions and theories from the perspective of the growing discipline of the Environmental Humanities and Traditional Ecological Knowledge. The conversation will focus on ecocultural entanglements with nonhuman subjectivities, decolonial ecologies, practices, ethics, and research outcomes, including global and local narratives. Chindoy will bring in the perspective of indigenous knowledge systems, biocultural peace, and the ethical responsibilities towards both human and nonhuman communities.
