With crafty practice we understand a situated form of making and knowing that unfolds within specific ecological and technological assemblages — whether in the entanglement of bicycle and angler, the replacement of batteries in a captive tracking system, or the adaptive hunting strategies of a she-wolf and her relation to monitoring tools.

Crafty practices make situated, embodied, and more-than-human forms of knowing perceivable. They foreground how knowledge emerges through adjustment, maintenance, and negotiation within entangled practices.
Building on field-specific observations of these practices, we extend the concept of craftiness beyond disciplinary and species-specific boundaries. From this foundation, we also developed dialoguing practices as new modalities of knowledge production that unlock both epistemological and ontological dimensions of exchange among diverse actors.
