In this episode, we speak to <a href='https://www.filmandmedia.ucsb.edu/person/pujita-guha/'>Pujita Guha</a> for the <a href='https://www.instagram.com/theforestcurriculum/'>Forest Curriculum</a>, a "collectively run itinerant anarchist platform for artistic, curatorial and political research and organisation." Pujita talks about the collaborative process of building a platform for conversations about forests, the nonhuman, and Indigenous knowledges in South and Southeast Asia. Other topics include the risks of digital technologies and data in contexts of state surveillance, and how artistic practices can expand sensory experiences of forest spaces beyond digital calculability.
