Bee Orchid, a vlog

Maxim Zaragoza
I made a video about the most interesting thing I’ve ever read, which was a chapter of a book by Anne Tsing we discussed in Dr. Jen Clarke’s seminar about feminisms in a post humanist world. The chapter includes a revision of Darwin’s Theory of Evolution and elaborates on «involution» with an orchid, as example. I made the video in Spanish, but added subtitles in English as well. I made it because, as a way to stay connected to friends and family, I had been participating in Power Point parties, where I presented this subject. I realized that talking about a type of orchid that learnt to self pollinate because the bee it mimics in its shape went extinct a long time ago, resonated with current events. Involution is about being able to respond as part of an interconnected whole, and I just wanted people to know.
