Crafty Practices – Dialoguing species

With crafty practice we understand a contextually situated skill that manifests within specific ecological and technological assemblages—whether it be the entanglement of bicycle and angle, the replacing of batteries for the captive tracking system, or the adaptive hunting strategy of the she-wolf and her relation with monitoring tools. We have expanded these field-specific observations through two autonomous crafty practices: Masking and Mapping.

These practices were developed within the research framework of Dialoguing Species as methodological instruments for transdisciplinary and interspecies dialogue. Through Masking and Mapping, we extend the concept of craftiness beyond disciplinary and species-specific boundaries, establishing new modalities of knowledge production that unlock both epistemological and ontological dimensions of exchange between the most divers actors.
