What is understood today as an ecology—or, rather, ecologies? How can they be defined, help us move beyond disciplinary boundaries, or enable us to re-negotiate interspecies coexistence? How might ecological thinking help us navigate crises?

Exploring these questions, ‘I knock on your skin’, a group show at SET Woolwich, mapped relationships between organisms and their environments through interconnectedness and interaction. The exhibition blended critical reflections on current socio-political shifts with explorations of shared exchanges on ecology. It invited us to consider new approaches to crises that might be playful, curious, or exploratory.
