Responding to the need to “think of unheard thoughts about animals” (Calarco 2008: 6) I explore the “question of the animal” through the art object. In so doing I interrogate the efficacy of art in effecting social change. I examine the problematic question of humankind's relationship to the animal by revisiting the children's tales Alice in Wonderland and Alice through the Looking Glass. In so doing I touch on questions such as sentience, anthropomorphism and language while engaging with the writings of amongst others Peter Singer and Jacques Derrida
