Peyton Thomas (USA)
Peyton Thomas is an environmental scientist, movement practitioner, and emerging interdisciplinary artist working at the intersections of ecology, sound, movement, and collective memory. Her practice explores how land- and waterscapes are experienced through the body, how ecological change is heard and remembered, and how relationships with place are expressed through music, dance, and storytelling.
With a background in fish physiology and aquatic ecology, she brings Western scientific environmental observation and analysis into dialogue with embodied and community-held knowledge. Her work incorporates field recordings, movement-based exploration, oral histories, and participatory mapping to investigate the connections between human and more-than-human worlds.
Through collaborative and experimental approaches, she seeks to create sonic, visual, and spatial representations of environmental relationships that move beyond conventional scientific documentation, making room for multiple ways of knowing, sensing, and interpreting ecological change.
