My ongoing research focuses on the discrepancy between glorified national narratives of exploration and discovery and the apocalyptic reality of coloniality. As a person with Dutch nationality, I focus particularly on the Netherlands and its colonial activities in the Southeast Asian archipelago known today as Indonesia. In my research, I connect the climate emergency to this longer historical cycle of colonial violence against humans and nonhumans alike.<\/p>\n<p>I found brilliant, supportive, and generous allies in vegetal life to approach this intricate subject matter. Plants allow for the most generous variety of approaches to relate to them; for humans, plants can be beautiful, bring shade, have intriguing designs, offer relaxation, and many plants provide useful materials, fuel, foods, and medicine\u00a0<span lang=\"EN-US\">\u2014<\/span><span lang=\"nl\">apart from their oxygen that is crucial to our survival.\u00a0<\/span>These specific qualities are simultaneously central to the reasons why plants are implicated with colonialism. Our human lives are thoroughly entangled with those of plants; our histories have been written according to our lifestyles, livelihoods, production, trade, and global relations. Even though the perspective of plants is not considered, they play a central role in the movements, choices, options, interests, and courses of this history. As much as plants have influenced us, they also are marked by our behaviors and carry our stories,\u00a0<span lang=\"nl\">not just the dominant ones<\/span>. While plants have such a different way of being in the world, they can show us alternative ways of being in the world through their involvement and the necessity of our relations.<\/p>\n<p>To grant plants the position of an ally, it is important to attribute them agency and move away from seeing them as a passive backdrop. Plants are active agents in their environment, responding and communicating to the things going on around them like light, sound, color, touch, and chemicals. For their survival they are constantly active in relation to their surroundings; by increasing the brightness of their flowers when they detect pollinators, growing in directions of nutrients, sharing provisions, or producing poisons to ward off danger and signal intruders to their kin. They can thus be considered intelligent when we understand this concept as responding to and learning from the environment, making decisions based on experience, and participating in communication with other plants, fungal networks, and animals. Their communication in relation to humans is unobtrusive and subtle; they don\u2019t speak their teachings but embody things we can learn from them, leaving the choice to us. This allows us to learn about ourselves in ways that are cared for, safe, and sheltered.<\/p>\n<h3>Breathing exercise<\/h3>\n<p>The very act of respiration equals being alive and is dependent and facilitated by plants.\u00a0<span lang=\"nl\">All multicellular creatures consume oxygen, however, manners of consuming\u2014one example is breathing\u2014 can differ per species.\u00a0<\/span>Developing a consciousness about this exchange of CO2 and oxygen reminds us that this collaboration is at the core of our being. Our human bodies are multi-species communities; less than half of our cells are human, and especially the health of our skin and intestines is a collaboration with other microbial life. Plants, however, are cellular and their plant bodies consist of plant cells only, always reproducing more of themselves. Making us humans, in comparison, more alien. As oxygen is always produced by plants, we breathe in their output.
