Over Kantelen:

Kantelen is a podcast in which artists and filmmakers explore how our perspective on the world can shift. Not by focusing on grand theories, but by looking closely, developing an eye for non-human worlds, and connecting with them. In all episodes, the question of our place as humans in the bigger picture plays in the background.

Isabel Cordeiro was a resident in the Hotel Maria Kapel program from June to September 2024. During this period, she developed a performance in which she explores how body, material, and environment are intertwined. In episode 4 of Kantelen, she talks about her research into the relationship between the human body and that which lies beyond it. Her work questions the anthropocentric view and challenges the sharp boundary between humans and their environment.

During the listening session, we will listen to the episode together. Afterwards, Mariska van den Berg and Isabel Cordeiro will engage in conversation with each other and with the audience.

The central question is: what does it take to live together in a more-than-human way?

The conversation will be in English.
