In a shared multispecies world, what happens when realities intermesh and give rise to myriad unforeseen and innovative paths? A critical understanding of such entanglements is imperative, both practically and speculatively, as they have the potential to spark countless connections between different beings. The focus of the second Multispecies Ethnography and Artistic Methods (MEAM) conference will be on multisensorial entanglements, focusing on interconnected creative paths stemming from a simple touch, a compassionate glance, a cherished sound, the taste of the familiar, or scent of the Significant Other. We invite presentations on the values and complexities of sensorial and artful methods in more-than-human-oriented research.
