The publication Notes from Birds (2025) explores migratory birds’ journeys, their sense of belonging, and the impact of change through artistic processes.
Changes in nature—such as habitat loss, climate change, and declining biodiversity—are forcing birds to find new routes or alternative food sources. The shifting lengths of seasons and the loss of traditional nesting grounds make survival more difficult. Migratory birds are also affected by unrest in the countries they pass through or land in.
Philosopher and feminist Donna Haraway, in her book Staying with the Trouble, urges us to think-with, live-with, and be-with other planetary organisms in a world facing ecological crisis. In line with Haraway’s thinking, can we “be-with” birds in a deeper way to understand nature and the effects of rapid global change?
Notes from Birds is produced and published in collaboration with Ebba Moi, Anna Carin Hedberg and the OVEN. Design: Studio150 / 2025, Bangkok, Thailand
