Ecology of Writing - collective writing project with Friends of the Earth and collaborators
The text that weaves throughout the work is a collective endeavour, like sediment coming to rest, briefly, informed by disturbances that set all the nutrients swirling again. It has a capacity to hold many stories, many origin myths, many perspectives, including those from more than human life and a multi-species perspective.
