These locations chosen due their engagement rewilding as an experimental mode ecosystem management. Rewilding is explored here process-driven approach conservation offers potential model for transdisciplinary artistic research. Adopting adapting its methods through combination place writing, collaborative performance making site-specific art, creative practice developed prompts ways working response ecologies, conceptualisations performances Aiming bring something back from into academy, argues (re)wilding disciplinary knowledge exchange. concludes call epistemology, proposing specific sites can be informed by entangled, unsettling continually practiced.
