The Undergrowth is an immersive narrative experience to be released in August 2025 alongside the the book Outgrowing Modernity: Navigating complexity, complicity and collapse with compassion and accountability. This online platform will connect you to a post-collapse world where humanity, deeply reduced in numbers, has retreated beneath the Earth’s surface, living in intentional and attuned symbiosis with fungi, roots, microbes, and minerals, guided by rhythms of relational intelligence that move beyond modernity’s extractive logic.
The Undergrowth is not merely a story or an artistic creation; it is a plea stretched across time—a message from a future humanity to our present, urging us to confront the ecological and social cruelties of our era. It invites participants into a shared journey of collective composting, reactivating capacities exiled by modernity, rewiring the nervous system away from separability ,and reweaving relational accountability to the Earth and each other, as we face the decline of modernity manifesting as the poly-/meta-/
perma-crisis.
We intend to offer a creative and immersive entry point into hospicing and outgrowing modernity, inviting participants to explore what it means and feels like to compost harm and reactivate dispositions of entanglement.
Through artistic inquiry, digital tools, courses and other educational resources, The Undergrowth will guide visitors into practices of attunement and co-stewardship, that grapple with complicity and honour complexity, "whole-shebang" relationality and wisdom that recognizes the entanglement of all life.
The Undergrowth is a call to reimagine intelligence, not as domination, but as a dance of responsibility and reciprocity that seeds possibilities for thriving futures. The teasers below illustrate our approach to the interplay between human and non-human intelligences including artificial and emintelligence.
