Liene Jurgelāne is an artist, facilitator, curator, and anthropologist. Originally from Latvia, now living in Denmark. Her practice weaves together performance art, artistic research, and multispecies collaborations, rooted in earth-based wisdom traditions, especially those from the Baltic region. She creates spaces for deep connections – through sensory walks, participatory performances, workshops, DJ sets, festival programs, or medicinal gardens – spaces where humans and more-than-humans can meet in a reciprocal exchange.
Her work invites to move beyond extractive ways of relating with plants and trees, instead entering into dialogue with plant beings as collaborators and teachers. Through this embodied listening, she explores themes of community, ecological belonging, response-ability and agency in times of intersecting socioecological crises.
