Micro-Ecologies Manifesto

We begin with a simple claim: justice includes the right to feel close to the living world.
Not only a fair share of resources, but a fair share of relation: touch, attention, care.

We refuse the old privilege that places the human at the center.
We affirm that plants, soil, rocks, rivers, fungi, winds, microelements and atoms participate in the world’s making.
We acknowledge more-than-life and more-than-human; without asking about utility.

We live through mediations: language, tools, rituals, theories, technologies.
Let us use them as prosthetics of perception: extensions of senses.
A terrarium is a small universe.
A VR is a door.


We fragment to metabolize what feels too vast.
We bring exteriority into interiority not to dominate, but to practice attention.
In the gallery, time, decay, and purpose are collaborators.
We become custodians and translators rather than the owners.

When a plant is named a person, a new grammar of “we” appears.
Here, every biome present is a co-equal.
Connection is not spectacle; it is a relationship.

Protocols for this performance

1. Approach slowly.
2. Listen to quiet data.
3. Offer reciprocity.
4. Name relations, not owners.
5. Leave traces of care.
6. Translate gently.

Our invitation

• Let this micro-environment move you. 
• Can installations reassert the human right to nature and the non-human right to presence?
• Share your message, feeling, emotion, touch.
