Abstract
This chapter explores collaborative Arts practices as critical and creative vehicles for assembling a figure of the socioecological learner. We focus on developing the sensorial and affective dimensions of learning through aesthetic engagements with place, drawing on Deleuzian concepts of the "larval subject" , "carte" and "rhisome". In doing so, we also forge connections with contemporary life sciences that reveal the permeability and plasticity of learning processes through dynamic interactions within developmental eco-systems. These conceptual and empirical resources inform our posthumanist methodological approach to collaborative Arts practices, which we describe in terms of a c/a/r/ography. Through the collaborative production of "site/sight-specific" images and poetic texts, we seek to produce a generative and visually critical exposé, which locates the emergence of the socioecological learner within a "bio-social ecology of sensation". This opens up a field of potentials for sensing, thinking, feeling, and learning through collective aesthetic engagements with more-than-human worlds.
