Nature Speaking: Recent Episodes
Nature Speaking
This podcast is a collaborative project as part of an online course by the same name being offered through the Emily Carr University of Art + Design in summer 2020. As a class, we're producing this podcast series showcasing hopeful stories of nature's rapid response during lockdown, while exploring the interconnectedness of our soundscapes and each other. This unique and timely collection of audio documentaries will paint a collaborative sonic portrait of this historic moment through participatory approaches, and help us to gain insights towards a more ecologically 'sound' future. If we listen carefully, what is nature telling us?
Please note: the opinions expressed in each episode are those of the episode's host(s).

Inspired by the bounce back of wildlife during the COVID lockdown I have focused my attention on the politics of "wilderness". This episode of Nature Speaking is about beginning the learning and unlearning process of the racist history which National and Provincial Parks are built on.
