Cosensing

silkworm lessons on queer ecologies.

Welcome to the portfolio website of a multiespecies collaborative art lab, by Caro Novella.

School for Dance and Thought, Boston.

SLOW DOWN, SYNCH, SHED, ENTANGLE, HOLD, SOFTEN,
Silkworm colonies (2019-2022)

Cosensing aims at unsettling the lure of individualism by making silky gestures together. Imaginaries, somatic practices and silk technologies are tools to cultivate openness to being messy and radically soft. Silkworm lessons toward collective transformation.

What do SILKWORMS TEACH US About QUEER ECOLOGIES, MESSY TRANSITIONS and Synched RHYTHMS in pandemic times?
