Ep #1.1 More-than Human Museums | Worlding Podcast

Susanne Schmitt, who works across ethnographic and artistic practices often with a multi species lens and through works situated at Natural History Museums and Botanical Gardens, guides us through her research of more-than human museums and creatively explores what Worlding could be.

Susanne shares her interest in the architecture of museums, their written and unwritten rules and how this choreographs the people that work in them. By playing with the genre of the audio walk, Susanne and her collaborators set out to turn museums into multi species sites by accounting for the very different kinds of species that dwell there and that are represented there.

During the pandemic, when most of us find ourselves refined to our home environments, can we experiment with thinking about our homes as more-than human museums?

Could we even, for example, create a guided tour of our home for a bug that likes to eat trees?
