Séance-sorium

A hybridization of “séance,” a seating, and “sorium,” a sensual experience, the séance-sorium is an immersive collaboration of plants and people.

Séance-sorium is a performance-based project that explores the intangible dimensions of being and becoming with plants.

It merges elements of academic panels, workshops, and direct engagement with plants, creating a hybrid creative practice.

Rooted in spiritualist traditions and Indigenous vegetal knowledge, this ongoing series invites participants to attune to plant consciousness through collective, collaborative, and embodied encounters.

Conceived by The Plant Contingent, Séance-sorium draws inspiration from their academic research on art and philosophy, the 19th-century spiritualist séance, surrealist experiments in inter-world communication, and the ancestral wisdom of Andean and Amazonian yachags and vegetalistas.
