'Coming to our senses in a world of transformation and environmental change' : Artist Talk

This event is a collaboration between the transformative artist, Christian Houge, and the transformations scholar, Professor Ioan Fazey. 

It will provide you with an opportunity to reflect on what it means to live in a period of planetary change and at the end of the world as we know it. The event will allow reflection on many questions, such as how we might make better sense of the enormity of change facing people and our planet; how we might learn to engage with it differently, and who we might need to be at the end of the world as we know it. 

The event will take us through Christian Houge’s artwork, which evokes possibilities for a deeper engagement with our senses in terms of how we individually and collectively experience our changing world. It provides the participant – if they are courageous enough to engage with the art – opportunities to delve into what they really feel and draw out aspects of themselves usually unspoken. Such engagement with our senses is critical to help support a re-awakening of the trauma many people are experiencing as the old world begins to dissipate and before the new has yet to emerge. Coming back to our senses – literally and figuratively – is an essential part of opening up new possibilities for more positive and regenerative ways of living. 

This talk will take place during "Death of a Mountain''.
