Camping Out in The Cloud Forest

Kate Daudy

Kate Daudy will be in conversation with Dr. Rebekah Cupitt at the University of London on January 31.

“What do honeybee-human relationships have in common with human-AI relationships? Can we think through problems such as racial and gender bias, ableism and negative impacts on the climate by examining honey, bees and the socio-ecological systems in which they flourish?

Radical exploration of such diverse concepts set the groundwork for a conversation between the artist Kate Daudy, and anthropologist of technology and queer theorist, Rebekah Cupitt. We will take you from London’s St Pancras Station out to a far flung Cloud Forest, from the salt-lidded oceans of northern Bolivia to a giant-round-swimming-pool stopover in Santa Cruz cruised by albino peacocks and drug lords. You’ll encounter unusual creatures – butterflies the size of your hand, tarantulas so close you can see the furry stripes on their legs, a bear, a teenage jaguar and a Coca plantation owner with such a penchant for coca honey he has established himself as a Beekeeper.”
