This category examines how animals—feeling, thinking beings—are affected by the systems we build and the beliefs we uphold. Across industries and cultures, animals are treated not as individuals, but as units of production, entertainment, or research. Their emotional lives are ignored, their voices silenced. Through this section, we begin to unlearn those assumptions and rediscover animals as sentient lives: capable of affection, suffering, curiosity, and connection.
