Biological intelligence expert Monica Gagliano from the University of Sydney features Womadelaide's Planet Talk.
Monica Gagliano is radically transforming our perception of plants and more generally, Nature. Inspired by her personal encounters with Nature and indigenous elders from many parts of the world, she has pioneered the brand-new research field of plant bioacoustics by demonstrating for the first time that plants emit their own ‘voices’ as well as detect and respond to the sounds surrounding them.
She has extended the concept of cognition to plants by demonstrating experimentally that plants can learn just like animals do, re-igniting the discourse on plant subjectivity and ethical standing.
