eca aims to build epistemic bridges between humans and other animal species and other forms of life, to foster cross-species collaboration, eco-literacy and more-than-human sensibilities to tune into the rhythms of the Earth and conceive common futures.
Astrida Neimanis speculates in No Representation Without Colonisation, "What if nature writes, thinks, is alphabetized and numbered, produces patterns and meanings, expresses sociality, intelligence, mutability, invention?" In this sense, it is relevant for us to learn the codes to be able to recognize, listen and cooperate with more-than-human beings.
eca will commission climate refugees, climate activists and climate witnesses to design ecopedagogical workshops, interdisciplinary and experimental methodologies towards ecological literacies that bring together empirical and trained approaches.
Embodied Climate Agency (eca) is an intersectional and interdisciplinary platform committed to decentralizing and diversifying climate knowledge. eca seeks to legitimize embodied climate knowledge and inclusive life policies, sustaining that those at the forefront of climate impact should also be at the forefront of discourse.
eca is an ecosystem dedicated to fostering plural forms of inter-species reparations and cross-border collaborations that transcend hierarchical structures that prioritize certain cognitive processes and certain lives over others. Through the collection of testimonies from climate witnesses from extracted areas, eca aims to diversify discussions on climate issues and promote inclusive and situated ecological responsibilities.
At eca, we assert that embracing a plurality of situated responses allows for diverse climate approaches, which could lead to more comprehensive and equitable ecological policies and practices.
Founded by artist Daniela Medina Poch in 2023, eca has been enriched by the contributions of Abdulmazhitova Aisuluu, Abdulmazhitova Aziz, Elena Agudio, Esther Aragón, Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui, Esteiman Dario, José Eduardo Sánchez Díaz, Toribio Miguel Expositó, Paula García, Felipe Medina, Khristen Quiambao, Juliana Andrea Albarracin Silva, Erwin Torio, Miguel Valdivia, Ching Y U, and Mara-Michelle Wagner.
