This podcast, hosted by Katrine Elise Pedersen, immerses us in aspects of artist Diana Policarpo’s latest project ‘Nets of Hyphae’, touching themes such as queer ecology, botanical and ancestral knowledge, biohacking, and herbal medicine.
Feminist theorist and molecular biologist Deboleena Roy discusses the importance of attuning to different bodies and different knowers, both human and non-human. For Roy, this realization came through endless hours together with the very objects of the research she was conducting. Sociologist and Research Director at CNRS Morgan Meyer and herbalist and anthropologist Charis Boke respectively discuss medical knowledge produced and cultivated beyond the boundaries of scientific institutions: biohacking and Western herbalism. In different ways, both embrace the principles of openness, decentralization, and the sharing of knowledge.
