Meet the Authors | ‘Interspecies Conversations’ with Susanne Paola Antonetta.
In this episode we speak with Susanne Paola Antonetta, author of the essay ‘Language Garden’ featured on Wimblu’s Magazine Volume 9, dedicated to Language. Based on her encounter with Chantek, a signing orangutan, Susanne's text leads us to profound reflections on ethics: what are we provoking in the minds of animals when we impose human learning on them? How much does 'giving them a language' bring us closer or further away from a recognition of the agency, intelligence and consciousness of these non-human beings? Are we still thinking about consciousness under anthropocentric bias? Listen to Susanne talk about her experience meeting Chantek, a signing orangutan, and the impact this encounter had on her way of relating to language, consciousness and the more-than-human world.To read ‘Language Garden’ by Susanne Paola Antonetta visit: https://wimblu.com/en/volumen-9/jardin-del-lenguaje/ Subscribe to our free Newsletter to get the latest news of events, publications and more here: https://wimblu.com/en/subscribe/ Follow and subscribe to our Podcast here: https://open.spotify.com/show/1pMQTzECLfxoHjDYqnwD1vHelp us continue with our mission to recognize and honor the interconnectedness between our human and more-than-human worlds through author-driven creative nonfiction.

Meet the Authors | ‘Language & Landscape’ with Len Murusalu & Alessandra Baltodano.In this episode we speak with Len Murusalu, author of the short film ‘After Betelgeuse’ and Alessandra Baltodano, author of the multimedia ‘(silence)’. Both stories are part of Volume 9 ‘Language’ of Wimblu Magazine. On one hand Len explores language as a being with its own agency that emerges from the landscape and flows through the bodies of the people that inhabit it. On the other hand, Alessandra’s story recognizes a need to quiet the discursive mind in order to listen to the world, and to connect with the landscapes we inhabit.Listen to both authors speak about their creative processes of each story and the way their exploration of language has opened up different ways to relate to the landscape.

Encuentro con autores | ‘Nombrar e invocar’ con Francisco Provedo y Pablo Franceschi
En esta conversación partimos de las historias ‘Desierto’ por Francisco Provedo y Monumentos por Pablo Franceschi. Por un lado, Desierto nos presenta la idea del lenguaje como una herramienta de colonización, que invisibiliza a ciertos seres vivos y las múltiples y diversas relaciones que existen en un territorio para finalmente convertir al paisaje en un lugar explotable y adquirir poder sobre el mismo. Por otro lado, en Monumentos el lenguaje es explorado como una manera de crear sentido desde un lugar más íntimo, pero apunta a esa misma cualidad del lenguaje: la de incidir en el mundo, no solamente en el mundo material, sino también espiritual. Escuchá esta conversación en donde los autores profundizan en cómo estas dos exploraciones y perspectivas sobre el lenguaje convergen en distintos lugares en sus procesos creativos Mira Desierto por Francisco Provedo Explorá ‘Monumentos’ por Pablo FranceschiSuscribite en nuestro boletín gratuito para enterarte de nuevas publicaciones, eventos y talleres de no ficción creativa aquí: Seguí y suscribite a nuestro Podcast aquí.Ayudanos a continuar con nuestra misión de reconocer y honrar la interconexión entre nuestros mundos humanos y más-que-humanos a través de la no ficción creativa de autor.

Meet the Authors | ‘Language in Bodies’ with Nethery Wylie & Lawrence English.
The stories we discussed in this ‘Meet the Authors’ are part of a chapter of Volume 9: Language, in which we explore and give space to stories that motivate us to imagine other languages, and other forms of non-human languages that allow us to somehow put ourselves in the skin of the other. This non-human skin, in Transliteration by US artist Nethery Wylie, is placed in the skin of trees and plants; and on the other hand, in Oseni by Australian artist Lawrence English, it is placed in the skin of the Pacific Ocean.Listen to both authors speak about their creative processes of each story and the way contemplation and listening practices play a role in their craft.
