From World to Word to Body

5th September 2024 7:00pm to 7:00pm

Weaving the relationship between climate justice, our bodies, the word and stories, we explore what is at stake in the relationship between human and nonhuman being. 

Climate change and climate justice have a landscape intimately connected to our bodies, but we don't always think of the story that way. In this workshop we will weave story threads that move between the world and the body in an effort to articulate what is at stake in the relationship between human and nonhuman being. Can we tell the stories of how we inhabit the world differently from the dead ends we have inherited? How might storytelling move away from occupation and colonization narratives toward more intersectional, polyphonic, and liberatory themes and forms? We will create narrative braids.
