The project Postnatural gardening. Ecological practices for interspecies care conceived for the Agorà space at MUSE — Musee delle Scienze in Trento, intends to review the relationships between human cultures and plant worlds, inviting us to shift our anthropocentric gazes on herbs, trees, their flowers and fruits, mushrooms and lichens and to embrace inclusive horizontal visions towards all more-than-human beings, creating interspecies alliances based on empathy and coexistence.

La Condición Postnatural is a speculative glossary of terms and images, of stories and subjects, an unfinished archive of intertwined thoughts that are born as an invitation to take a critical distance from the modern Western conception of the "natural" by proposing new gazes and resonances. To this end, this book tries to articulate and mix affective philosophies, minor anthropologies, critical historical reviews, minimal histories, narratives, and stories on the margins, counterexamples that proliferate a kaleidoscopic vision of ecology in an increasingly deteriorated world. This book puts in crisis the hegemonic narratives around the natural, inviting to imagine and propose other worlds to come from respect, empathy, and coexistence.

Through interventions in specific places in the environment and a series of devices that blur the natural and cultural lines, we invite the experience and estrangement to be part of a complex ecosystem. Soft Matter, Deep Time activates a multi-species framework where biology, geology, and fiction dissolve.
