The term “companion species” for which this exhibition takes its name, is popularly attributed to the feminist cyborg scholar Donna Haraway. In her book The Companion Species Manifesto, Haraway uses this term to explore the historical emergence of animals who are not viewed as wild creatures or pests, nor used for meat or in labs, but rather animals that are intensely bonded to the history of human’s social, cultural and emotional life.The coming together of this exhibition was guided by a desire to share sentiments of love and connectedness, a desire to add a moment of joy into each spectator’s day.
