Gathering Moss


Gathering Moss was commissioned by The British Council and The Korea Foundation (KF) as part of the cultural program for the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) in Glasgow. As part of the program, Sooah Kwak and Chanu Lee presented Illogical Love, a poetic civil movement that challenges the anthropocentric politics of climate change by embracing a love so irrational it extends to every human, animal, and object. Built around the core concepts of queer ecology, feminist new materialism, and more-than-human worlds, Illogical Love transforms love as a radical force in the fight for a more sustainable world.
