description: The Word for World is Still Forest creates a space for the reader-as-exhibition-viewer to consider how forests may be seen not only for their trees but also how they can enable experiences of elegance affirmation and creation for a multitude of creatures. in response to their violent destruction which characterizes the Anthropocene these pages traverse various woodlands by way of their semiotic socio-political historical and epistemic incitements in order to reveal how practices of care concern and attention also enable humans to inhabit and flourish in this world as forest.Taking its title from Ursula K. Le Guins 1972 novella The Word for World is Still Forest curates an homage to the forest as a turbulent interconnected multinature. Moving from concepts of the forest as a thinking organism to the linear monocultural plantations that now threaten the life of global forests the volume includes interviews a photo essay case studies reflections drawings essays and more.
