Dr. Irina Bobei in conversation with Daniela Custrin, independent curator and CESI alumna. Altruistic sacrifice, the preservation of balance and unity, the complexity of habitat structures, and interspecies communication—these are some of the starting points for examining collective behaviors in the insect world through an understanding of their role in co-evolution. We explore the significance of our reactions to unloved insects, drawing on a more nuanced understanding of the somatic lexicon related to disgust and rejection.
