The significance of semiotics in NBS co-creation

online Join online

Co-creation represents a method for fostering long-term collective behavioural change within multi-species communities. This symposium aims to investigate the roles of communication, meaning-making, and valuation in addressing complex challenges that involve humans and other species and their distinct needs for well-being.

How can semiotics help us recognize and co-create environments that matter to both humans and other species? The three presentations in this session address this question from complementary perspectives, examining the role of a multispecies approach in spatial planning and decision-making, the use of art-based methods in co-design, and the application of semiotic methodologies to uncover interspecies relations. The programme will feature the following presentations:

  • Juha Hiedanpää – Co-creating multispecies significance: Some lessons for spatial planning and decision-making
  • Beáta Pántya – Art-based Multisensory Methods for Healing Garden Co-Design
  • Lona Päll – How to Discover Interspecies Relations with Semiotic Methods?

The presentations will be followed by comments from Prof. Morten Tønnessen (University of Stavanger).
