Porous ecologies

Anthropologist and sound artist Alessandra Indino presents the culmination of their LabVerde 2026 residency in the Brazilian Amazon rainforest. Performed on Endangered Species Day (May 15, 2026), this immersive work is a trans-sensory invitation to feel the Amazon as a vibrant, endangered web of relations and to reflect on what it means to become-with the forest in times of ecological fragility. The concert unfolds as a slow descent into nocturnal darkness, exploring trans-sensory ways of knowing into an anthropology of the night, where the humidity of the forest co-composes a shared, porous existence. A reminder that we are all bodies of water, leaking, seeping, and becoming with one another in more-than-human intimacies. --- Alessandra Indino is a transdisciplinary artist working at the intersection of ecology, anthropology, and sound. Her practice combines ethnographic research, community engagement and experimental sound design to explore diaspora, collective memory, and more-than-human musicking. Through participatory projects, installations, and immersive performances, she investigate listening as an ecological act and as a tool for social transformation. picture credit: Christian Braga by Labverde
