"WHAT ABOUT BATS?"

In the video project ‘What About Bats’ the artists from the 36 monkeys team tell us about the daring hypotheses of Antonia Hubancheva, a famous traveler and scientist specializing in chiropterology who is on her way to proving her theories through experiments in the field of sensory ecology.

We also learn how the research is conducted and how different fields of study help us understand the truth, as well as what scientists think about the connection between the COVID 19 pandemic and bats.
