SUMMARY:Wild Knowing: The Role of the Arts in Ecological Culture
DESCRIPTION:Join Geography & C21 at AGSL on September 18 for a presentation by J. Philip Grygny\, PhD that uses stories\, sound\, and vivid imagery to explore what an ecological culture might look like\, followed by a curated walk in Downer Woods. Register at tinyurl.com/uwmwildknowing. \nAldo Leopold\, one of the founders of modern ecology\, wrote that we should not see the land as a thing that belongs to us\, but as a community to which we belong. How could such a radical shift come about in our tech-driven world? \nThis 40-minute presentation uses stories\, sound\, and vivid imagery to explore what an ecological culture might look like\, and how we can bring the power of the arts to deepen our relationship with nature. The program invites educators\, artists\, and anyone with a passion for nature to explore embodied\, intuitive practices for ecological education\, enrichment\, wellness\, and advocacy. \nThe presentation will be followed by a 60-minute workshop in various practices to relax your body\, open your senses\, and refresh your friendship with the living world. \nTo learn more about performance ecology and the Wild Knowing project\, visit WildKnowing.org. \n— \nJ. Philip Grygny is an independent\, interdisciplinary artist and scholar interested in the intersections of art\, science\, nature\, and culture. In 2017\, he founded the Performance Ecology Project to explore how artistic and contemplative practices can deepen our relationship with the living world. His activities include The Performance Ecology Project (2017)\, Adventures in the Deep World (2019)\, and A Walk on the Wild Side (2024). He currently leads programs called “The Arts of Self-Rewilding” for MKE REC. Select essays by J. Philip Grygny can be found at HumansAndNature.org/J-P-Grygny/. \nThis event is part of the Geography Colloquium Series and C21’s fall event series.
