Interspecies Library Ft. Oscar Salguero

Interspecies Library is the first archive dedicated to the curation and advancement of artists’ books focused on alternative interspecies futures. The growing collection aspires to reflect our changing attitudes and acknowledgment of more-than-human worlds.

How can we inspire new portals of stories beyond the typical optimism and hope, and instead be introspective about our cultures and how they influence our life decisions? These are the types of conversations we had at the Interspecies Library.

Oscar Salguero is an archivist, book curator, and independent researcher based in Brooklyn, NY. In 2021, Salguero curated "Interspecies Futures [IF]" at the Center for Book Arts. The show marked the first public survey of bookworks by emerging artists working at the intersection of speculative fiction and interspecies possibilities. Salguero founded the Interspecies Library and is the author of Symbiocene Anthology, a series of artists’ book reviews published online via the philosophical platform Future Based.

In this unique interview, we get to explore different types of artists' projects that have been submitted to the Interspecies library.
