What Whales are saying – online learning session of the Co-creation with the More-than-Human sandbox
A quiet revolution in understanding the More-than-Human world is underway.
On 10 December, our ninth and last Co-creation with the More-than-Human learning session of 2025 (with more coming in 2026!) goes into territory that feels both scientific and quietly revolutionary:
Decoding whale communication — and what it means for Rights of Nature.
Project CETI is a global research initiative working to decode sperm whale communication using advanced AI, machine learning and field linguistics. Their work is revealing a communication system of stunning complexity, suggesting these ocean giants may have one of the most sophisticated languages in the animal kingdom.
This in turn invites us to challenge long-standing assumptions about agency, personhood, and the foundations for recognising legal rights beyond the human.
In this online session, we’ll go in dialogue with Dr. David Gruber, Founder & President of Project CETI and a National Geographic Explorer, exploring the science, the implications, and the door it opens for a different kind of relationship with the oceanic world.
If you’re curious about what this frontier looks like in practice, you’re welcome to join us on 10 December at 6 pm CET | 12 pm ET | 9 am PT
