Aukštumala Raised Bog: Protected Areas: Cognitive Path
with:
The Many Headed Hydra (art, research and publishing collective) and Suza Husse (researcher, curator, Sensing Peat, Michael Succow Foundation. Greifswald) with Žaltys - Grass snake, Jūratė Sendžikaitė (botanist, peatland restoration expert, Foundation for Peatland Restoration and Conservation, Vilnius) with Saulašarė - Sundew
The Many Headed Hydra, Suza Husse and Jūratė Sendžikaitė in queer dialogue with the Lithuanian folk tale Eglė Queen of the Grass Snakes, greets the wet beings of Aukštumala and invokes the bog as a multi-species, mythic, and political collective. Drawing on a tale of shape-shifting and transformation that migrates across borders and centuries—from India to Lithuania, Turkey, and Germany—they summon the wetland’s deep, entangled histories rooted in the Curonian Lagoon.
