Layers of being by Minchen H Stenersen
If we recognize our similarities with the living world around us, would we treat it with more empathy?
Carefull by Maike Panz
In times of war and climate change – at a time when trauma is on the rise, it is more important than ever that we honestly care. That we take care of ourselves, of each other and of nature.
If we are sensitive and aware, we may recognize how everything is interwoven. We might recognize how we harm ourselves when we harm nature. By taking care of others and nature, we also care for ourselves. Care work as an expression of love and appreciation, support and nurturing. Honest and balanced care as an action that creates warmth and brings us back to the sense of connectedness in which we can heal.

What Remains by Alarik Rantala
When trying to look for commonalities between species, only one factor unites them all: the inevitability of death.
Gender specimen by Vladimir Elia von Arx
Species, gender, categorisations to make our world easier to deal with. During my work with understanding my own gender identity, I completely lost my grasp on what femininity and masculinity mean. What is it to feel feminine or masculine? What makes an object seem masculine or feminine?
