Unweaving Colonial Binaries With Ants
On April 6th the Nature Lab hosted "Unweaving Colonial Binaries with Ants," a lecture and workshop exploring ants as communities, not colonies. The event began with a talk by guest artist Kuai Shen investigating the legacy of colonialist scientific methods in the field of myrmecology, followed by activities with live ants including magnified observation and building amplification devices to listen to their sounds.
This event was presented in collaboration with Providence College faculty members Dr. James S. Waters, Professor in the Department of Biology, and Dr. Virginia Thomas, Assistant Professor of Women's and Gender Studies & Art History.
