Tentacular Thinking

An arts lab residency sponsored by National Theatre Wales Professional Development Lab at the Reading Room, gallery Pembrokeshire, Wales. Taking Donna Haraway’s essay Tentacular Thinking: Anthropocene, Capitalocene, Chthulucene as a starting point for artists; Abigail Sidebotham, Christine Cooper, Gilly Booth, Simon Whitehead and Seán Vicary collaborated, during a self initiated professional development lab, to explore Animism; the ancient belief system that attributes all things — animals, plants, rocks, weather systems, language, technology — as being connected, animated and alive.
