Queer Flora, Fauna, and Funga A Radical Forage Through Art and Writing Published by Valiz. Edited with text by Frances Cannon. Queer theory, natural history and ecology intersect through visual art, poetry, science experiments and more Published with Art & Ecology Series.
Part of Valiz’s Art and Ecology series, Queer Flora, Fauna, and Funga is an eclectic, transdisciplinary and versatile anthology, highlighting sexual and gender diversity in nature. Contributors across a litany of disciplines—from creative writers to beekeepers and speculative theorists—present dozens of case studies which inspire us to reimagine the world and our place in it. Each example centers around guiding questions such as: How does acknowledging the queerness of nature inspire us to compose the world otherwise? And what is the role of an individual in a symbiotic community? Queer Flora, Fauna, and Funga asks us to reconsider our relationships with each other and our more-than-human companions in the natural world.
