What changes when the people most affected by a problem finally design the solution? Sometimes progress isn’t technological—it’s experiential. https://dualisticunity.com/female-engineers-have-redesigned-the-speculum/

This weekend at Field // self-directed residency at the Lake Farm Country Park // walking barefoot // Sun-gazing// talking to @artists_for_plants 🌱 learning about Chocó, Colombia and Alberoni Dunes, Venice as places of vital ecological importance // thinking about the impermanence of all living things, shifting landscapes // appreciating and noticing the biodiversity of local places // i have visited this particular spot in Lake Farm Country Park regularly over the past year, and it is visibly a lot richer this season, in both species and numbers // thinking about the affects of human presence on biodiversity and how it can enrich a place rather than deplete, if living in true coexistence // i have made sure to leave no inorganic traces of my being here // earlier this year i planted a young Callisia Fragrans here (following an unsuccessful attempt at the post office - she was meant to go to a new home as part of a plant swap; see blog https://olgmeister.tumblr.com/) - she got devoured almost instantly by the slugs and the snails, while no other plants here show signs of being their food to such extent; this shows how perfectly evolved the cohabitation of species can be even in a place that is so easily overlooked // ☀️ #field #artistresidency #selfdirectedresidency #embodiedknowledge #earthpace #local #biodiversity #ecology #ecosystems (at Lake Farm Country Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPgJ0POFSNFgTiZFjC1NdblvrOATOOxgTyoZdA0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Due to a lack of capital, the Malays in Ubin and Kampung Beting Kusa had to slowly sell away their jetties to the Chinese to earn income and took on other jobs such as procuring nibong or the Malay feather palm in Johor.
