Encountering the Earth: How Ecological Creativity Changes Us and the World
Join bestselling author Robert Macfarlane, collaborative theatre maker Lucy Neal, and filmmaker-curator Hannah Close for a conversation about our creative connection with the Earth, ahead of the launch of our innovative new course, The Wild Imagination: Exploring Creative Ecology.
In this Avaya webinar, explore how paying imaginative attention to our other-than-human kin, the living landscapes around and within us, and the web of relations that connect us all can foster care for the Earth and deepen our sense of belonging to this wild and intelligent planet we call home.
In a time of widespread alienation from the rest of nature, the ongoing machining of our creativity in service to capital, and the systematic destruction of our biosphere, cultivating and defending our creative relationships with the Earth has never been more critical, or more affirming – when the going gets tough, we turn to art to help us make sense of the world, ourselves, and each other.
