Research seminar in the woods
A recent experiment, research seminar in the woods. Instead of sitting in the institution, facing more screens at the end of a working day, we stood by a little fire that kept us warm while we talked about Eco-Anxiety and Little Joys, surrounded by trees.
We listened to a great speech by Douglas Hine about art and ecology and what is at the other end of despair.
We wrote our own anxiety on little pieces of paper that burnt away, sending meaningful particles of carbon dioxyde in the atmosphere.
The final roasting of marshmallows at dusk was cancelled due to roasting sticks being cut of privet, mildly poisonous to humans. We had a nice time nevertheless. Thank you to those who attended :>))
This seminar was delivered on 28-11-2024 as part of the research seminar series at Cardiff School of Art and Design
