Where do we draw the boundaries of the human? Of the individual and the collective? Who belongs to the “we” that we imagine ourselves part of, and who is excluded from it? At the heart of these questions lies the possibility of a sustainable future—a future that depends on the choices we make about which lives, human and non-human, are protected, valued, and allowed to flourish.

This roundtable brings together artists, researchers, curators, activists, designers, agronomists, and civic actors to investigate how non-human perspectives can be heard, co-designed, and included within an expanded sense of community. It asks what alliances can be built between people, places, environments, and other living entities, and how art and culture might nurture forms of evolutionary symbiosis between institutions and multispecies worlds.

The participants reflect a wide spectrum of approaches—spanning theory and practice, design and territorial engagement, artistic experimentation and curatorial research—yet all share a commitment to the relational dimension of sustainability. Together, their practices compose a plural landscape where engaging with territories becomes both an artistic and poetic act, and where cultural practice becomes a practical tool for shaping new ways of living. By moving across the realms of the living without hierarchy, this roundtable will consider margins and residues, vulnerabilities and co-existences as generative spaces for care, alliance, and transformation.
