Meii Soh is a researcher, performer and writer, whose work examines the intersection of human and non-human
storytelling as to foster speculative narratives that reimagine agency, love and empathy in times of identity
and ecological crisis.
Their practise critically engages with the representation of nature and animality in the
Western context, emphasizing the complexities of interspecies’s relationships such as dependency,
mutualism, and parasitism as complex methods of co-habitation. Born within a family of on-land hunters,
Meii draws from traditional methods, intersecting them with dissociative movement, video-game aesthetics,
and digital mediums to offer alternative modes of seeing and knowing. By doing so, Meii prompts immersive
dialogues while locating colonial narratives of instrumentalization, consumption, and objectification.

I am convinced that actual encounters are what make beings; this is the ontological choreography
that tells me about value-added dogs in the lifeworlds of biocapital.
