Giovanni Aloi is an author, curator, educator, and maker specializing in the histories of art and politics of aesthetics in representations of nature in art. A pioneer in the fields of animal studies and critical plant studies, his work foregrounds posthuman and non-anthropocentric perspectives in art, challenging conventional frameworks of representation and advocating for an ethical engagement with the more-than-human world. His research critically examines how visual culture constructs relationships with animals and plants, working against their objectification while exploring new modes of artistic expression that foster multispecies entanglements.

Monica Gagliano is an internationally award-winning research scientist. She has pioneered the brand-new research field of plant bioacoustics, which for the first time, experimentally demonstrates that plants emit voices and detect and respond to the sounds of their environments. Her work has extended the concept of cognition in plants. By demonstrating experimentally that learning and memory are not the exclusive province of animals, Gagliano has reignited the discourse of plant subjectivity, as well as ethical and legal standing. She applies an innovative and holistic approach to science, one that is comfortable engaging at the interface between areas as diverse as ecology, physics, law, anthropology, philosophy, literature, music, the arts, and spirituality.
