On unfolding present and past (rock art) worldings

Abstract

This paper is set out to unfold present and past (rock art) ontologies or ‘worldings’. It aims to present different modes of identifications, and the often intricate relationships between humans and other-than-humans from a relational perspective, with the hope of challenging our western perception of the world. It presents some thoughts on how different ontologies are unfolded through artworks and material culture, and how these worldings differ from one another.
