Among the usual stalls and performances, four striking, animal-like figures wandered through the space \u2013 strange, beautiful and a little unsettling. They weren\u2019t mascots or fantasy characters. They were part of a live art performance called <em>Multispecies Wordlings<\/em>, created with artist <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spikemclarrity.com\/\">Spike Mclarrity<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The idea behind the project was simple: to get people thinking about how we live with and relate to animals \u2013 not just as pets or symbols, but as fellow beings who share our world and whose lives are affected by our choices, often in ways we don\u2019t see.<\/p>\n<p>Spike performed in four different costumes, each representing a different way of thinking about animals:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The Hybrid Clan<\/strong>, speaking to culture and identity.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Lagomorph<\/strong>, drawing on myth and spirituality.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Hybrid Cruiser<\/strong>, reflecting desire and the unsettling.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The White Rabbit<\/strong>, soft and approachable \u2013 the most familiar, but also the most complicated.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;31463&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Why a rabbit? Because rabbits are familiar and comforting, easy to love, but easy to overlook. They stand for \u201cthe cute\u201d in our culture. But that cuteness can also distract from more difficult truths: about how we use animals, what we choose to see, and what we prefer not to think about.<\/p>\n<p>As Spike explains:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe costumes are re-imagining the animal; in doing so, it opens a dialogue with the public about our relationships to animals. Being present allows the public to engage on their own terms. Their encounter can be one of amusement, intrigue, and depending on which costumes they come across, they can react with caution.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This wasn\u2019t just a performance; it was also a piece of research. As someone based in a business school, I often think about how organisations shape the way we relate to others, animals included. This project drew on ideas from posthumanist and feminist thinkers like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.upress.umn.edu\/9780816650460\/when-species-meet\/\">Donna Haraway<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/rosibraidotti.com\/publications\/the-posthuman-2\/\">Rosi Braidotti<\/a>, whose work challenges the old idea that humans are separate from or above nature. Instead, they ask us to see ourselves as part of a web of life, interconnected with animals, plants and environments.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;31464&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]That\u2019s what <em>Multispecies Wordlings<\/em> tried to do in public: invite people to step into that web. We weren\u2019t telling people what to think; we were creating an encounter which sparked reflection. Children stopped and followed the rabbit. Adults looked, paused, and sometimes started conversations. We saw people who were surprised, amused, and sometimes perplexed too. Those responses are a kind of data we want to use to think about animals not just as objects of care or protection, but as beings with a place in our shared world.<\/p>\n<p>This approach means asking what it would look like to involve animals in our decisions, whether in planning public spaces, designing policies, or thinking about the impact of business. In short, it means rethinking who counts when we talk about community, responsibility and care. What I hope people took away from the performance is that ethics isn\u2019t abstract. It can be encountered on a walk, in a costume, through a moment of eye contact with a creature that doesn\u2019t speak your language, but still makes you feel something.<\/p>\n<p>The performance at the festival was just one step in longer project journey. During the day, students Charles Manning and Luke Evans from the University\u2019s Film, Theatre and Television (FTT) department documented the event and people\u2019s reactions. We\u2019re now working with FTT student Josh Watkins to edit a short film for data dissemination. We\u2019re also exploring ways to take this work into universities, conferences and other public settings or places where new ways of thinking about animals can really make a difference. In June, I also shared the project as part of the <em>Interspecies Insights<\/em> series hosted by the SLOW research network, which explores regenerative approaches to human\u2013nonhuman relations in creative management and social research.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, all it takes is a White Rabbit to lead us into a different kind of hole&#8230;[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;31462&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Anna de Amicis, Lecturer in Management and Media, Henley Business School, discusses how a live art performance featuring a white rabbit sparked conversations about our relationship with&#8230;<a class=\"read-more\" href=\"&#104;&#116;&#116;&#112;&#115;&#58;&#47;&#47;&#114;&#101;&#115;&#101;&#97;&#114;&#99;&#104;&#46;&#114;&#101;&#97;&#100;&#105;&#110;&#103;&#46;&#97;&#99;&#46;&#117;&#107;&#47;&#114;&#101;&#115;&#101;&#97;&#114;&#99;&#104;&#45;&#98;&#108;&#111;&#103;&#47;&#50;&#48;&#50;&#53;&#47;&#48;&#55;&#47;&#48;&#49;&#47;&#99;&#114;&#111;&#115;&#115;&#105;&#110;&#103;&#45;&#98;&#111;&#117;&#110;&#100;&#97;&#114;&#105;&#101;&#115;&#45;&#97;&#114;&#116;&#45;&#101;&#116;&#104;&#105;&#99;&#115;&#45;&#97;&#110;&#100;&#45;&#97;&#45;&#119;&#104;&#105;&#116;&#101;&#45;&#114;&#97;&#98;&#98;&#105;&#116;&#45;&#97;&#116;&#45;&#116;&#104;&#101;&#45;&#99;&#111;&#109;&#109;&#117;&#110;&#105;&#116;&#121;&#45;&#102;&#101;&#115;&#116;&#105;&#118;&#97;&#108;&#47;\">Read More ><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1000,"featured_media":31462,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"__cvm_playback_settings":[],"__cvm_video_id":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[2830],"class_list":["post-31461","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-prosperity-resilience","tag-leadership-organisations-behaviour-reputation"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8.1 -
