Living beings are constantly queering identities

In Module 6 of Rewilding Mythology, Andreas Weber challenges binary thinking from his background as a scientist and philosopher. Inspired by the rich metaphorical backgrounding of lichen for this session, Andreas shows us how actually, binary thinking in science and nature is but one story. The other, more true story perhaps, emphasises the interconnectedness of our selves in an ecosystem. Ecology is erotic and everchanging: the transformations within it make it essentially, queer.
