Transdisciplinary conversation on rights of nature, ecological grief and solidarity between water bodies.
Transdisciplinary conversation weaving together a reflection on rights of nature, ecological grief, embodied knowledge and solidarity between water bodies - with Youngsook Choi, Xandra van der Eijk, Hendrik Schoukens and Christiane Bosman, moderated by Brunilda Pali.
What could we learn from witnessing ecological loss? Instead of moving forward, rushing into solutions, and promising another Babel towers. Youngsook urges full immersion into ecological grief through the lens of climate interrogation, collectively scrutinising repeating patterns of environmental destruction.
Staying with the loss and organising communal witnessing could open up the space of interspecies solace that intrinsically engages relational knowing and planetary pedagogy of love- a humble beginning of an interspecies healing.
