The Human Nature Dictionary is a participatory creative project launched by artist and media producer Freedom Baird in January of 2016. The project is inspired by the participatory works, strategies and tactics of many artists including Joseph Bueys, Mel Chin, Tania Brugera, Lee Mingwei, Paul Ramirez Jonas, Jane Marsching, William Chambers, Kate Gilbert and Elisa Hamilton.

We welcome your participation in the project!

Feel free to contribute words, definitions, photos, artwork -- any kind of text or image that shows how humans and nature are connected. We're especially interested in words that show an unintentional, unplanned, unexpected connection. Like the way a squirrel tiptoes across a power-line. Or a surfer's view of garbage in the curl of a wave.

We've already had contributions from kids on up to adults! You can email us an idea for posting or join as a wiki editor. Even if your idea is partial, send it on in and we'll use it as word-fodder! As with Wikipedia, your contributed content to the Human Nature Dictionary becomes part of a creative commons.

We welcome journalists and writers to adopt any of this new language and use it in your publications. Let us know when you do, and we'll include links to your work along with the word definitions. Your use of a new word or phrase in this way helps it meet inclusion criteria for future inclusion by Wiktionary, Merriam-Webster, and other established dictionary publishers.

Feel free to contact me with any questions about the Human Nature Dictionary.

Thanks for visiting!
