Heuristic

And that’s a wrap! 🎬 Just spent the last week with a talented group of filmmakers-socially conscious/active -magic makers at a workshop on #ParticipativeFilmmaking #VideografiaParticipativa. We went into the field to practice our tools where Miriam, Lupe and Rosa, our three heartwarming hosts showed us around their chacra and collaborated in making a film about the struggles they and their community face regarding changes in climate, lack of infrastructure for sustainable agricultural production and raising community awareness and engagement #WaterManagement #Infrastructure #RuralFlight #AgriculturalDiversity #communityengagement #ElChampal (at El Champal de Cocachacra)

I spent last weekend following #ElizabethPovinelli and the #KarrabingFilmCollective as they gave master classes and workshops about their process of #ImprovisationalRealism #filmmaking #entanglements and #coproduction. I realized that #stubbornness, more than #hope , is what we need to challenge the effects of #lateLiberalism and #SettlerColonialism in the #anthropocene. I learned that “it’s not about doing something new, but how to continue something, how to do it again but in a different form” and that we need to “pull it down into the lives that people actually live.” Awesome lady, awesome work being done by Karrabing! #BeStubborn #HopeIsNotEnough (at Tate Modern)

Summers in Oxford (at Port Meadow, Oxford)

Spent yesterday's sunny afternoon with #IFSTAL at #GrowUpBox urban farm! Sam Cox, in charge of design and development, explained to us how their #aquaponicsystem can grow tones of greens (and fish) with environmental, social and economically sustainable strategies. Check out what they're up to at their commercial farm and non-profit outreach container (pictured above!) #urbanfarm #aquaponics #eatlocal #GrowUpUrbanFarms #containerfarming # (at Roof East)

It's been a great day listening to a variety of speakers at @oxford_uni who are working to bridge the silos surrounding food systems! The Seventh Annual Oxford Food Forum 2017- Beyond the Silo: Understanding and Building Linkages Across the Food System has come and gone (although I can't say quickly) it's been lovely few months working with this marvelous group of #foodfemales and the @OxfordMartinSchool @FutureOfFood group #OFF17 #BeyondTheSilo #oxfordmartinschool #futureoffood #SoGE (at University of Oxford)

Currently in the Library working in my term paper that I meant to have done by last week #procrastination... I open up my book #StayingWithTheTrouble to remember that THE Donna Haraway has signed my book "to #HumusHumans, #MyKin" #heroes #becomingwith #becomingwithmylaptop #cyborg (at Bodleian Social Science Library)

We had a GREAT day traveling around A'dam doing our Oxford Urban Agriculture research project! A lot of BIG things coming out of this place, like #urbaniahoeve! We sat with @debra.urbaniahoeve who told us about her #7layers concept and visions of a #forestgarden city, where #agroforestry is an integral aspect of the urban landscape. She enlightened us a lot about #Amsterdam soil and the challenges it provides, we took part in a #RadicalObservation exercise (and she even let us play with the #beastsofthesoil in her #vermicompost!) V cool experience and V admirable project going on here! #urbaniahoeve #demotuinnoord #voedselbos #freefoodforall #entropical #osi #debrasolomon #jaromil (at Amsterdam-Noord)

Fairy tale settings abound (at University Parks)

One about the objectification of women. The other about American idealism and what it means to be "masculine"
