Guácara Podcast se enlaza a la temporada 2025 por los Derechos de la Naturaleza en Puerto Rico. En colectivo, presentamos la lectura de la Declaración de Reconocimiento y Defensa de los Derechos Inherentes de la Naturaleza, iniciativa gestada por la Coalición Boricua por los Derechos Inherentes de la Naturaleza. Esta manifestación germina de un colectivo interdisciplinario de individuos y organizaciones atentos al estudio y a la transformación de los paradigmas existentes de nuestra relación con la Naturaleza. Presentamos diez preceptos vivos y en constante metamorfosis por quien los escuche para que florezcan otras manifestaciones de lo que puede ser nuestra correspondencia con la Naturaleza.

In this special episode, historian Corinne Fowler joins EMPIRE LINES live with visual artist and researcher Ingrid Pollard, linking rural British landscapes, buildings, and houses, to global histories of transatlantic slavery, through their book, Our Island Stories: Country Walks Through Colonial Britain (2024).Though integral to national identity in Britain, the countryside is rarely seen as having anything to do with British colonialism. In Our Island Stories, historian Corinne Fowler brings together rural life and colonial rule, through ten country walks with various companions. These journeys combine local and global history, connecting the Cotswolds to Calcutta, Dolgellau to Virginia, and Grasmere to Canton. They also highlight how the British Empire transformed rural lives, whether in Welsh sheep farms or Cornish copper mines, presenting both opportunity and exploitation.Corinne explains how the booming profits of overseas colonial activities directly contributed to enclosure, land clearances, and dispossession in England. They highlight how these histories, usually considered separately, persist in the lives of their descendants and our landscapes today. We explore the two-way flows of colonial plant cultures, as evident in WIlliam Wordsworth's 19th century poems about daffodils, as contemporary works of literature by Chinua Achebe and Grace Nichols.Contemporary artist - and walking companion - Ingrid Pollard shares their research into ferns, seeds, and magic, across Northumberland, the Lake District, and South West England, Ingrid details histories of lacemaking in Devon and Cornwall, and we explore representations of ‘African' and Caribbean flowers in art. Bringing together Ingrid and Corinne's works, installed at the exhibition, Invasion Ecology, at Southcombe Barn on Dartmoor, we also explore their previous collaborations including the project, Colonial Countryside: National Trust Houses Reimagined. Plus, Corinne questions ‘cancel culture' in the British media and academia, drawing on their experiences as Professor of Colonialism and Heritage in Museum Studies at the University of Leicester.Our Island Stories: Country Walks Through Colonial Britain by Corinne Fowler is published by Penguin, and available in all good bookshops and online. You can pre-order the paperback, released on 1 May 2025. This episode was recorded live as part of the programme for Invasion Ecology, co-curated by Jelena Sofronijevic for Radical Ecology, and Vashti Cassinelli at Southcombe Barn, an arts space and gardens on Dartmoor. The central group exhibition, featuring Ingrid Pollard, Iman Datoo, Hanna Tuulikki, Ashish Ghadiali, Fern Leigh Albert, and Ashanti Hare, ran from 1 June to 10 August 2024.The wider programme featured anti-colonial talks and workshops with exhibiting artists, writers, researchers, and gardeners, reimagining more empathic connections between humans, plants, animals, and landscapes.

Achter paardenbloemen gaat een wereld vol variatie en verhalen schuil. Wat zijn paardenbloemen eigenlijk voor planten? En welke verhalen vertellen ze over onze natuur? Anthonie spreekt hierover met Karst Meijer, botanicus en oprichter van het Herbarium Frisicum en Erik van den Ham, fotograaf en curator van Herbarium Frisicum . Karst en Erik zijn beide auteur van de kersverse Veldgids paardenbloemen. Waar veel mensen ‘een paardenbloem' zien, zien Karst en Erik meer dan 150 verschillende soorten. Hoe is die grote variatie ontstaan? En hoe zijn ze zelf paardenbloemenliefhebber geworden? We bespreken waarom de veldgids er moest komen, hoe je die kunt gebruiken en waar je moet beginnen met het kijken naar paardenbloemen. Hoe komt het dat ze zo achteruit zijn gegaan? En wat kunnen we daaraan doen? Karst tipt het boek ‘Uitgestorven - Op plantenjacht rond de wereld' van Maarten Christenhusz en Rafaël Govaerts.De leestips van Erik zijn ‘De kikkerkamasutra' van Kees Moeliker en het antiquarische ‘Folklore van wilde planten' van Philippe van Wersch.Reacties op deze of eerdere afleveringen zijn van hartewelkom!

Wie gelingt echte Verbindung in Teams – auch (und gerade dann), wenn es unbequem wird? In dieser Folge spreche ich mit Kereen Karst, die seit über 20 Jahren Menschen und Teams in Bewegung bringt. Ihr Fokus: Räume schaffen, in denen Vertrauen wächst, Emotionen sein dürfen und Beziehung wieder ins Zentrum rückt. Gemeinsam schauen wir auf die Qualität von echter Zusammenarbeit – jenseits von Tools und Methoden. Es geht um Nähe, um Haltung und um die Bereitschaft, auch als Führungskraft in Beziehung zu gehen. Wir sprechen über das, was Teams oft am meisten fehlt – und was alles möglich wird, wenn der Elefant im Raum endlich ausgesprochen wird. Diese Folge ist für alle, die sich eine neue, gesündere Form des Miteinanders wünschen – im Business wie im Leben. Highlights der Folge: ➡️ Warum „anders zusammenarbeiten“ nicht nur ein schöner Satz, sondern eine Notwendigkeit ist. ➡️ Wie Beziehung, Selbstkontakt und Feedback echte Kraftquellen für Teams werden. ➡️ Kereen über ihren Weg von der Vertriebstrainerin zur tief wirkenden Prozessbegleiterin. ➡️ Was ein „Stimmigkeitsrat“ sein kann – und warum dieser neue Blick auf Teamverantwortung so spannend ist. ➡️ Warum die Führungskraft nicht alles wissen muss – aber Räume halten sollte. „Wir brauchen mehr Invest in Beziehung, in Menscharbeit, in „Ich darf dir was sagen – du darfst mir was sagen.“ (Kereen Karst) Impulse für deine tägliche Leadership Praxis: ➡️ Feedback first: Wie du als Führungskraft Räume eröffnen kannst, in denen sich auch schwierige Dinge sagen lassen. ➡️ Intuition kultivieren: Warum es hilfreich ist, im Leadership-Alltag auch mal langsam zu werden – um wirklich wahrzunehmen, was im Team da ist. ➡️ Verantwortung teilen: Was passiert, wenn wir Entscheidungs- und Gestaltungsräume nicht mehr nur „oben“ denken. ➡️ Menschlichkeit statt Maske: Wieso echtes Interesse, Zuhören und emotionale Präsenz der Schlüssel zu tragfähigen Teambeziehungen sind. ➡️ Trust the process: Was sich entwickelt, wenn man Teamentwicklung nicht als Maßnahme, sondern als Haltung versteht. „Die Welt heilt und wird nur besser, wenn jede/r von uns sicher & echt, also authentisch, in Kontakt mit anderen sein kann.“ (Kereen Karst) Einladung zum Nachdenken: ➡️ Was ist in deinem Team gerade "unausgesprochen spürbar"? ➡️ Und was wäre ein erster, kleiner Schritt, das in Worte zu bringen? Shownotes: ➡️ Kereen Karst in LinkedIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kereen-karst-79a23151 ➡️ Ihre Webseite: https://kereenkarst.de ➡️ Den erwähnten Podcast „New Endings“ von Jane und Kereen findest du hier: https://open.spotify.com/show/0HGejxxw8vqz6JvHUTcUGu --- ✍️ Trage dich hier für meinen Newsletter ein: https://juliapeters.info/newsletter

Fifty-three days after Hurricane Helene, residents of Asheville can safely drink their tap water without boiling it. Why did it take so long? And, tribes' historic lands on the Gulf Coast are being lost to the sea. To slow it down, one tribe has turned to oyster shells.The Struggle To Restore Drinking Water After Hurricane HeleneWhen Hurricane Helene barrelled through the southeastern US in September, it dumped an estimated 40 trillion gallons of water on the region. That resulted in immense flooding that destroyed roads, buildings, power lines, and other infrastructure.And it also impacted the region's potable water supply. For weeks, residents in Asheville, North Carolina, didn't have access to clean drinking water because the extensive flooding washed large amounts of sediment into the local reservoir. As of Monday, limited access to potable water was restored, marking the first time in 53 days that local residents didn't have to boil tap water to drink it.Before that access was restored, we heard from listeners Sarah and Alison in Asheville who had their own questions about the water quality in their city, and the science behind sediment issues in a local reservoir.Guest host and SciFri producer Kathleen Davis is joined by Dr. Sarah Ledford, associate professor of geosciences at Georgia State University, to figure out why it can take so long for cities to clean their potable water after a storm like this and what other regions expect from the aftermath of future extreme weather.Using Oyster Shell Reefs To Counter Sea Level Rise In LouisianaOn a hot Friday morning, the sun beat down on volunteers gathered at the edge of the water in southern Plaquemines Parish. They passed heavy sacks of oyster shells to each other down a line. The volunteers loaded the shells onto boats to use them for building an oyster reef to help slow land loss in Grand Bayou Indian Village.“The oyster reef is a living thing. Baby oysters are going to attach to it. It's going to grow. It's going to become bigger,” said James Karst with the Coalition for Coastal Louisiana, the organization that built the reef. “But when the sea level rises, because oysters are growing on it, it will grow vertically as well, so it will continue to add protection.”Louisiana's land loss is an existential crisis for many of the tribes who live along the coast. Grand Bayou Indian Village, a small community, home to the Atakapa-Ishak/Chawasha tribe, is watching its lands wash away. Nearly 1,000 people lived in the village in the 1940s, but now there are only about a dozen homes raised on stilts right along the edge of the bayou. Boats are the only way to get around.“You can look at the GPS and it will indicate a different color for where land is,” said Karst. “You'll be looking at this on the screen, then you'll look up and there is no land there. It's just open water.”Volunteers built the reef by stacking bags of recycled oyster shells in the water, up and down the shoreline. The shells came from restaurants in New Orleans. The coalition recently expanded its oyster recycling services to Baton Rouge.Read the full story at sciencefriday.com.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

In this special episode, artist Kedisha Coakley joins EMPIRE LINES live at the Hepworth Wakefield in West Yorkshire, connecting their work from Jamaican and Black diasporic communities across the UK, with their research into sculptor Ronald Moody, uncovering shared interests in Ancient Egypt, indigenous Caribbean cultures, and questions of restitution. Born in Brixton, and based in Sheffield, Kedisha Coakley's practice spans sculpture, glassmaking, and wallpaper printed with blocks of braided hair. Commissioned for an exhibition about Ronald Moody, one of the most significant artists working in 20th century Britain, their new installation is set between his large-scale figurative wood sculptures from the 1930s, and post-war experimentations with concrete and resin casting. From Kedisha's bronze afro-combs influenced by historic Taino cultures, we journey from objects held in the British Museum, to mahogany relief sculptures by major influences like Edna Manley. With audio transcripts, we discuss Moody's BBC radio broadcasts for Calling the West Indies produced by Una Marson, particularly ‘What is called Primitive Art?' (1949). Kedisha shares Moody's interest in primitivism, present in ancient Egyptian, Greek, Indian, and ‘oriental' Chinese cultural forms, as well as Gothic and Renaissance works from Western/Europe. We look at photographs from Kedisha's studio, exploring ‘African masks' in the work of European modernists like Man Ray and Pablo Picasso, and the often marginalised role of religion and spirituality in Black and diasporic art practices. Kedisha also details her wider practice in ‘Horticultural Appropriation', working with breadfruit, flowers, plants, and the natural environment, connecting with Moody's description of Jamaica's Blue Mountains and sea. We consider Moody's place in British art history, drawing from his contemporaries Barbara Hepworth, Henry Moore, Jacob Epstein, and Elizabeth Frink, as well as the group known as the Caribbean Artists Movement (CAM), of which Moody was a founding member.. As a self-described ‘mature student', we look at Kedisha's pursuit of independent, adult education, the role of market cultures and fashion, and the work of women taking care of history. This episode was recorded live at Ronald Moody: Sculpting Life, an exhibition at the Hepworth Wakefield in West Yorkshire, in October 2024. The exhibition runs until 3 November 2024: hepworthwakefield.org/whats-on/kedisha-coakley-and-empire-lines-live-podcast-recording/ Hear more about Kedisha's work around ‘Horticultural Appropriation' with Ashish Ghadiali, curator of Against Apartheid (2023) at KARST in Plymouth: pod.link/1533637675/episode/146d4463adf0990219f1bf0480b816d3 For more about the Caribbean Artists Movement (CAM), listen to curator Rose Sinclair in the episode on Althea McNish's Batchelor Girl's Room (1966/2022), recreated at the William Morris Gallery in London: pod.link/1533637675/episode/953b78149a969255d6106fb60c16982b On post-war ‘British' art and sculpture, read about Egon Altdorf: Reaching for the Light at the Henry Moore Institute in Leeds, in gowithYamo: gowithyamo.com/blog/postwar-modernism-egon-altdorf-at-the-henry-moore-institute Hear from artist Yinka Shonibare, in the episode on Decolonised Structures (Queen Victoria (2022-2023) at the Serpentine in London: pod.link/1533637675/episode/01fffb739a1bd9f84f930ce41ee31676 On the globalisation of ‘African' masks, listen to curator Osei Bonsu on Edson Chagas' photographic series, Tipo Passe (2014-2023), in the episode about Ndidi Dike's A History of A City in a Box (2019) at Tate Modern in London: pod.link/1533637675/episode/386dbf4fcb2704a632270e0471be8410 And for more about Édouard Glissant, listen to ⁠Manthia Diawara⁠, co-curator of The Trembling Museum at the Hunterian in Glasgow, and artist ⁠Billy Gerard Frank on Palimpsest: Tales Spun From Sea And Memories (2019)⁠, part of ⁠PEACE FREQUENCIES 2023⁠: ⁠instagram.com/p/C0mAnSuodAZ⁠

Forests have always been magical places. But in the last couple decades, they seem to have gotten a little more magical. We've learned that trees are connected to each other through a vast underground network—an internet of roots and fungi often called the "wood wide web". We've learned that, through this network, trees share resources with each other. And we've learned that so-called mother trees look out for their own offspring, preferentially sharing resources with them. There's no question that this is all utterly fascinating. But what if it's also partly a fantasy? My guest today is Dr. Justine Karst. Justine is a forest ecologist at the University of Alberta. Her research focuses on mycorrhizas—these are the symbioses formed between fungi and plant roots that are thought to be the basis of the "wood wide web." Last year, Justine and colleagues published a perspective piece in which they argued that some of the claims around the wood wide web have gotten out of hand. These new ideas about forests, they argued, have gotten decoupled from the actual on-the-ground—or under-the-ground—science. In reality, it's a field still riddled with unknowns and mixed findings. Here, Justine and I do a bit of mycorrhiza 101—we talk about what mycorrhizas are, how they evolved, and what the structures actually look like. We discuss the original 1997 study that inspired the term "wood wide web." We consider why it's so hard to figure out what's actually going on, mechanistically, under the forest floor. We discuss the increasingly popular notion of plant intelligence and what it means to empirical researchers in this area like Justine. We talk about why people—both members of the public and scientists themselves—have found wood wide web ideas so charming. And, finally, we discuss the question of whether a little bit of hype is really so bad—particularly if it gets people excited about forests, about science, and about conversation. I got as excited about the "wood wide web" as anyone. The idea totally captured my imagination a couple of years ago. So I was intrigued—if also a little dismayed—to learn recently that these ideas were getting some pushback. And I knew immediately we should talk to one of the researchers leading that pushback. Alright friends, let's get to it. On to my conversation with Dr. Justine Karst. Enjoy!   A transcript of this episode will be available soon.   Notes and links 5:00 – Popular treatments sometimes mentioned as over-hyping the wood wide web (and associated ideas) include The Hidden Life of Trees, Finding the Mother Tree, and the novel The Overstory. 9:30 – The landmark 1997 paper by Simard et al. that kicked off interest in the so-called wood wide web. 11:00 – A study showing that fungi are more closely related to animals than to plants. 11:30 – For more on the new interest in “plant intelligence” see our previous episodes here and here. On the notion of “fungal intelligence,” see here. 18:00 – A 1975 paper presenting a hypothesis about the origins of land plants. 20:00 – The California “mushroom bible” mentioned. 23:00 – A brief post (and infographic) on the differences between arbuscular mycorrhizas and ectomycorrhizas. 23:30 – Richard Powers' influential novel, The Overstory. Note that the novel doesn't exclusively focus on the wood wide web; it covers of ideas and findings about trees and forests, many of which are uncontroversial. 36:00 – Dr. Karst co-authored her perspective piece in Nature Ecology & Evolution with Dr. Melanie Jones and Dr. Jason Hoeksma. 50:00 – For more on aspens and how constitute clonal organisms, see here. 52:00 – The “mother tree” idea was popularized in Dr. Suzanne Simard's book, Finding the Mother Tree. 1:04:00 – Another recent critique of the wood wide web and mother tree idea is here. In it the authors write: “Reaching out to the general public to make people care about forests is certainly a praiseworthy goal, but not when it involves the dissemination of a distorted view of the plant world. In other words: the end does not justify the means.” 1:05:30 – Others influenced by The Overstory include Barack Obama and Bill Gates. 1:09:00 – A primer on myco-heterotrophic plants. 1:13:00 – See a recent presentation by Dr. Jared Farmer on trees and “chronodiversity” here.   Recommendations ‘Seeing plants anew,' Stella Stanford ‘Mother trees and socialist forests: Is the ‘wood-wide web' a fantasy?', Daniel Immerwahr   Many Minds is a project of the Diverse Intelligences Summer Institute, which is made possible by a generous grant from the John Templeton Foundation to Indiana University.

If you've worked in the travel industry for any length of time, you're probably familiar with Kristin Karst. The co-owner and executive vice president of river cruise line AmaWaterways, Karst is a staple at most travel industry conferences, perhaps best known for her bubbly personality, welcoming demeanor and close, personal relationships with travel advisors. However, many travel industry colleagues may not know Karst's unique backstory. She was born and grew up in Dresden, a German town along the Elbe River, in what was formerly Eastern Germany, under a regime that mostly kept Karst and her family isolated from the Western World. In this episode of Humans of Travel, Karst reflects on a childhood spent under the Socialist Unity Party of Germany, and how the limited travel her family was able to do allowed her to gain an appreciation for all that Eastern Europe had to offer and fostered an early love of tourism. Karst will also dive into what it was like when the Berlin Wall came down in 1989, and how she got her start in the travel industry as a leisure manager at American Express Travel, a role that she kept until she moved to Southern California and met Rudi Schreiner, her husband-to-be and the former president of Viking Cruises. Listeners will hear Karst reflect on the early days of AmaWaterways, how she keeps her work-life balance in check and what's behind her unwavering positivity. This episode is sponsored by Apple Leisure Group Vacations.  RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE AmaWaterways' debut in Colombia TravelAge West's 2023 WAVE Awards (AmaWaterways took home wins for River Cruise Line with the Highest Client Satisfaction; Best River Cruise Line for Families; and Best River Cruise Line for Luxury.

In this episode, Rich and Jason discuss "Fly Me to the Moon," the new movie about the marketing of NASA and the Apollo lunar missions. (Clearly a story near and dear to Rich's heart.) They then talk to super space collector Fred Karst in Georgia to learn about his collection that is featured in a home museum and his love of the space program. On a sad note, Rich and Jason pay tribute to Col. Joe Engle, another hero who sadly passed away last week.

I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.  Lesley Logan 1:05  Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap where my co-host in life, Brad, and I are going to dig into the powerful convo I had with Jenny Schatzle on our last episode. If you haven't yet, listened to that one, you're gonna want to listen to that one at some point, whether it's before this one or after this one, or with a friend. It is awesome. Especially if you've got friends who all they bitch about is how they look, Jenny Schatzle will give you the words to help shut them up because no one goes to lunch to talk about that. Anyways, before we get into that, today is June 6th 2024. So it's Caves and Karst Day. About this day, Caves and Karst, actually I don't know what a karst is, but I know what a cave is. So here we go. Celebrated on June 6, is is gradually becoming a significant event in the U.S. and with good cause. And by the way, I look for world ones, and since there are caves everywhere, I figured this could be also a world thing.Brad Crowell 1:56  Karst is a landscape underlain by limestone, which has been eroded by dissolution, producing ridges, towers, fissures, sinkholes, and other characteristic landforms.Lesley Logan 2:08  So it's just like, it's like the stalactites and stalagmites. Brad Crowell 2:11  It's like what you expect to see on the edge of an ocean where like where the water has eroded and it's got all this funky little designs. Lesley Logan 2:20  So it's a karst there and then you go in and it's a cave. Well, at any rate, thank you for that side trip. The value and influence of cave and karst landscapes on the genetic make-up of the earth as a whole are utterly mind-boggling as more cave enthusiasts across the world explore these underground sites of wonder and beauty. But there's a lot more to cave exploration than meets the eye. Caves and karst maintain natural diversity both above and below the earth and are home to many of the planet's most complex and unique ecosystems. The constant flow of water through their bedrocks creates a karst. As a result, sinking streams, caverns, springs, and other unique elements that make caves intriguing and magnificent are formed. So a karst becomes a cave. I'm confused. It's okay.Brad Crowell 2:21  I'm just really glad we're celebrating them today.Lesley Logan 2:22  We're celebrating them. It's a, you know what? If you are in Vegas, you can, you too can kayak like I did for too many miles and there is a cave that you get to kayak under. And it's emerald. It's like literally green in there. It's so beautiful. So you know, go check them out. Also, when I was researching this day, I found out how many caves are in the U.S. We have some of the largest, longest caves in the world. But you know what, even if you don't live in the US check out a cave near you. They're pretty magnificent. Upcoming we have Cambodia February 2025. Brad Crowell 3:40  Yeah, y'all. Lesley Logan 3:41  You can snag your spots. Brad Crowell 3:43  October sold out and February is on the docket. We are definitely excited to be going back two times next year. We don't know the dates for the end of the year yet, but we're looking at Feb. 25 So if that works for you, make sure you reach out go to crowsnestretreats.com, crowsnestretreats.com. Next up, we got our OPC Summer Tour.Lesley Logan 4:08  You are hearing it first. It's announced. It's announced. We have 12 cities?Brad Crowell 4:12  13 cities because we're kicking it off here in Vegas. Lesley Logan 4:15  Oh, that's right. We're kicking off in Vegas. (Inaudible)Brad Crowell 4:18  It's gonna kick off I think on August 5th. Lesley Logan 4:20  It's a Sunday.Brad Crowell 4:20  I believe it's a Sunday. Yeah, pretty sure it's August 5th. Lesley Logan 4:24  Sure. Brad Crowell 4:25  And then we're gonna be driving up and around. We're gonna go all the way up to Lesley Logan 4:29  August 4th is a Sunday. Brad Crowell 4:31  Okay, August 4th. So we're gonna drive all the way up to Saint Paul-Minneapolis, and then over to Cleveland and then back through the Midwest. Lesley Logan 4:38  Saint Paul-Minnesota. Minneapolis. Brad Crowell 4:43  Yeah, they're the Twin Cities. Lesley Logan 4:44  Oh, okay. So you do you say them like that Saint Paul-Minneapolis?Brad Crowell 4:48  I don't know which one we're gonna be at, so. Lesley Logan 4:50  Okay. I just didn't know if like you were saying like city-state. You know? Like, I don't (inaudible).Brad Crowell 4:55  We're gonna be in Connecticut, Texas and Pennsylvania, Hawaii. Lesley Logan 5:02  Yeah, anyways you gotta go to opc.me/tour to check out the amazing spots we're going to. Snag your spot because you guys, I don't know when the next time we'll do the Midwest again, gonna be really honest. We have, we got  Brad Crowell 5:15  We got plans y'all. Year after that we're thinking to do the West Coast again but (inaudible). Lesley doesn't know this, but I want to start in Mexico and go over to Canada.Lesley Logan 5:23  Well, also, Brad doesn't know but we've got to go to the U.K. so we have aBrad Crowell 5:27  Yeah, we got to go to the U.K. as well. Lesley Logan 5:28  Yeah. So at any rate, opc.me/tour to snag your spot. Also happening Brad Crowell 5:33  Or go to Europe. Just do all of Europe. Lesley Logan 5:35  Okay, don't, that's not an option for next year. But we do want to do that. It's like a 2026 goal. Okay, so eLevate applications are going to open up at pretty soon, actually. We're going to open them up in the June-July time. We want to make sure that everyone has enough time to set the dates aside for 2025 to also like save, save up the investment for it and everything we can only take 12 people in a group so you want to go to LesleyLogan as L-E-S-L-E-Y-L-O-G-A-N.co/elevate to get on the waitlist because the people on the waitlist get to apply. Brad Crowell 6:10  Yeah, eLevate is Lesley's mentorship program. It is the nine-month program, for those of you who aren't familiar with it. And you deep dive with Lesley. She's passing on all the information that she learned from her teacher Jay and it's, it's amazing. You're gonna leave that with all the confidence in the world you will never have to class-plan again. It is incredible. Lesley Logan 6:29  Awesome. Brad Crowell 6:29  Next up we got Barrels Flashcards. It's the last chance, y'all, to get on the waitlist.Lesley Logan 6:34  It's literally the last chance. (Inaudible) You won't hear us talk about it. We're not going to talk about this again. This is it. This is the last chance.Brad Crowell 6:40  No, we are going to talk about it on next week's pod but, like a week and a half and the waitlist is open.Lesley Logan 6:45  Oh my goodness. Okay, well, Brad has been really kind because I was like they know about it now, too, sucks for them, too late.Brad Crowell 6:52  This is your last chance to get on the waitlist and save some money when we do our presale opc.me/flashcardwaitlist, opc.me/flashcardwaitlist. Lesley Logan 7:01  And then lastly.Brad Crowell 7:02  Last but not least.Lesley Logan 7:03  If you have wanted to try OPC and you're just like, I don't know, I want to try it, though. You can. Brad Crowell 7:08  You can.Lesley Logan 7:08  Forty days for $40. Brad Crowell 7:10  Yeah.Lesley Logan 7:11  That's $1 a day of Pilates. Brad Crowell 7:12  That's right. Lesley Logan 7:13  Yep. opc.me/forty. Brad Crowell 7:15  That's right. Lesley Logan 7:16  That's great. I love that. You guys. It's amazing. You can get into our community, you can come to a live class you can do the weekly classes, you can ask us questions, it's actually where we answer questions daily. It's a really fire community and we are no longer in the Facebook world. We are in our own app. Our own app.Brad Crowell 7:35  Yeah. It's amazing.Lesley Logan 7:36  All right, before we get to Jenny Schatzle. What's our audience question?Brad Crowell 7:39  All right, Chonnarit L on YouTube asked, "If you already have a reformer what should you buy next?"Lesley Logan 7:47  I know, I thought this was a great question. I've never had anyone ask me and that's a great question. And also, it kind of depends on your space and what you want. If you already have a reformer, I would say Contrology Mat if you don't have that yet, because a lot of people don't invest in the mat and the mat and the ref, if you have those two, you are set, my friend. If you don't want to do the investment in a Contrology Mat, then a spine corrector, believe it or not, is what I would suggest. Contrology Spine Corrector. I have discount links on all these. And then if you are wanting something a little bit more challenging, because like the spine corrector is really good at helping you build your back bends, especially if you struggle with them. Like that's why I like everyone to have access to a spine corrector because it teaches an extension. But let's just say you just want to like power out then get a Wunda Chair. And if you have the Reformer and the Wunda Chair, obviously everyone afforded the mat, you could be an OPC all-equipment member. So there you go. The Wunda Chair doesn't take up a lot of space and Contrology has a beautiful one, and it's so amazing. Brad Crowell 8:47  That's a good one. Lesley Logan 8:47  I did a 50-minute workout on it yesterday to film for OPC and I kicked my own ass. So that is what I would say. It just really depends on your practice and your goals and your space. So you know, if you want to take a class with OPC, you, if you already have a Reformer and you have the mat then I'll get the Wunda Chair. Brad Crowell 9:02  Sounds like a plan. Great question. If you want to leave us a question that we might read here live on the pod. At the end of this episode, we will tell you our phone number that you can text or you can DM us on Instagram and ask away. All right now let's talk about Jenny Schatzle. Jenny Schatzle is a passionate speaker, author, coach, and advocate for transforming how women perceive themselves. Her mission is to break the cycle of toxic standards ingrained from an early age and to shift the conversation surrounding appearance. By challenging societal norms and encouraging women to embrace their true selves, Jenny fosters a healthier, more respectful dialogue about body image. Yes. Plus she uses curse words and I love that.Lesley Logan 9:48  We love that and she does these, like morning, coffee mug chats, just like give you a pep talk. We actually talked about this in the episode but like she had this post it's like you know don't sacrifice like 90, like, like 90% of your life just to be five pounds lighter. Brad Crowell 10:06  Ninety-five percent of your life to be five pounds lighter. Yeah. Lesley Logan 10:08  So she reposted that quote that she, that she did and the vitriol that she got, oh my god, all from, all from mostly men saying they won't be able to carry the coffin, like just awful things about the body. And she's like, okay, we got to talk about this because this is ridiculous. We, that's not at all what she is saying. Like, people confuse her talking about being kind about your body and not just constantly talking about being smaller and, and sacrificing, making decisions as like, everyone should just be unhealthy. By the way, your size and health do not match up. That's just not how it works. So it was just, it was just sad to like, read what people are saying. And it's just like, why are people such dickheads? When did people learn that if you, like, you, you don't have something nice to say don't say anything at all? What is going on with people? I think reviews is where it started. Brad Crowell 11:05  No, I think it's just the fact that you can post on the internet and nobody knows who you are.Lesley Logan 11:10  Yeah. Well, she posted their comments. And I think she should have blasted their names that she was nice enough to count them out. But I don't think you should I think you know what, if you think you're gonna say some shit, your name should get put up there. So anyways, but here's some things I love that she said. She said how we show up in our body is energy. And this is so true. If you are not feeling good about yourself, you start to only see the things you don't feel good about. And then when you go out into the world, like you bring that energy with you, you're not as excited. And so it's really important if you can actually give yourself some self-love and truly believe that you are an amazing person you can show up in your life in your body in a much more positive space. And I just really love that. I think we also talked about if you went out and ate the candy bar and had some fries and just like had a milkshake. You don't have to go oh my god, I'm an asshole. You just go. Okay, I did that. Moving on. And I really because that's energy, right? If you start to like doubt, like get down on yourself, you take yourself down and not just your body down and it affects the whole day that you have. So every time you show up as your authentic self, you give women around you permission to do the same. And she does this like this is how she like lives her life on social media. But like she truly does this when you are around her you do, I get a surprise all the time that people in front of her would even at all, like be mean to their bodies in front of her I would be so afraid to say something like not nice about myself. And whenever she pops in my feed or I have a talk with her, or we catch up, I am so much kinder to my body just because of her. I'm like she's got my like shoulder like, you know, it's okay like to love yourself and just get a different size, buy different jeans. It's okay.Brad Crowell 12:48  I love that. One thing that she mentioned, which I thought was pretty ballsy was she texted her whole family over the holidays and specifically requested everybody not talk about bodies, body images, body sizes, weight dieting, loss, all that you look so good, any of those kinds of comments with her kids. And the way she did it, I thought was incredibly thoughtful. And when I first heard the summary of it, I was like, whoa, that's like, was she like angrily yelling at everybody? But no, that's not what she did at all. First, she had a three-step approach. And this was gold. Okay, the first thing she said was, she opened the conversation saying, I have struggled with body image my entire life. I'm sure you all know that. The second thing she said is I would like to ask for your help in this because I want to break this cycle. I don't want my kids to struggle with body image. So I ask you not to talk about bodies, body images around my kids when we come over for the holidays. And she said lastly, the third step of it was to tell them I love you very much. I'm so grateful for your support. I can't wait to see you all. Right? And I thought, wow, what a tactful way to challenge the family to not talk about something that she's really intentional about with her kids. And she also said not a single family member responded. Lesley Logan 14:18  Yeah. Brad Crowell 14:19  But Lesley Logan 14:20  It was fine. Brad Crowell 14:21  It went really well. No one talked about those things. So clearly everybody read it. They, nobody wanted to talk about it. Like oh, yeah, sure, I will, won't do that. No one actually, you know, said that they would do it. But then they did, they did it anyway, which I thought was really amazing. And she was talking about the way that we were trained as a society, how we were trained to think when it comes to body image and fashion and all the things and you know, if her kids come downstairs and they say, hey, you know, I put on this new outfit. What do you think? Instead of saying, oh my gosh, you look beautiful. Right? Because that's the first res, that's the natural response, it's just kind of the way that we all would would think, you know, would talk. She said there's, there's some inherent issues with that response, which are, we are judging them based on how they, you know, the on beauty on this idea of beauty. Right? And so instead she, she says that makes you look really powerful. And then she asked them, how does it feel on your body? Right? Or how does it make you feel? That's a great way to instill this idea of being in tune with yourself being in tune with like, how does, your own body how does it make you feel? Right, and I just thought it was really cool. I like the way that she approaches that. Lesley Logan 15:41  Yeah, I really like it too. And I think like, I remember when she, we talked about this in that episode, when she posted, like, I asked my family not to do these things. And here's what you can prompt your family with. And I was like, wow, that is bold. It's amazing. I want to know how this went down. Because like, I, like, I was just like, what would my, our family would say? And, you know what, I, here's what I think, in both sides, I think everyone have complied just like her family. I do wonder what happened when you left the room. I feel like, she made us not talk about our body. Like, I just really wonder because like (inaudible).Brad Crowell 16:16  I wonder if they like, snarkily went to each other and they're like, you look so great today. You look so skinny today. Did you lose five pounds? After she left the room? Lesley Logan 16:24  I wonder, I wonder if they did. Or maybe it helped, it like freed them from like, playing the loop that we all play every year at the holidays, oh, I gotta lose five pounds, oh, I gotta do this thing. So, and by the way, like, if you are on a journey, because you are not excited about how your body is feeling. It is okay. I actually wanted to say like, it's okay. There's a difference between judging your body and shaming your body and getting actual information around how you want to feel how you want to be, what that is, and then making a plan for yourself, whether that's sleep, whether that's getting your hormones checked, maybe you want to actually add more nutrition to the meals, these are all okay things. And I actually think that Jenny, like, understands that and explains that because when you, when you talk to her about her gym, she owns a gym, and her big thing is like, are you sleeping? Sleep is amazing for self-care, like drinking water is amazing. And so I just want to say that because I don't want anyone to feel bad. But if you are actually going no, but Lesley, I really do want to lose 10 pounds because I just don't like the way I look. There's a difference between having that want that you want and then judging and shaming your body on everything single thing that you do along the way. Brad Crowell 17:40  Sure. Lesley Logan 17:40  You can actually love your body in the process, and it doesn't have to be the topic of every conversation. And it also doesn't have to be how you greet someone. And it, when people ask what are you up to you don't have to share it. This can be a personal journey that you just go on. You know, I have girlfriends, we're getting older, our bodies are changing, and there's certain things I'm like, okay, I can be okay with that. There's some thing's like, not okay with that. I'm actually I don't like how that feels. I don't like how that feels on me. But it's not how we greet each other. It's not what we talk about at lunch. You k,now, we talk about other things like How's work going? Like how are you feeling? Like, what do you like, what are you doing for fun? What are your hobbies? You know, so there's just different things. And I just want to point that out because I do know that like sometimes when these topics come up, people could start to get down on themselves for thinking those things about themselves. It's good to have awareness and it's good to understand what's motivating you.Brad Crowell 18:33  All right, so finally, let's talk about those Be It Action Items. What bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items can we take away from your convo with Jenny Schatzle? She shared her big trick on giving actionable tools when people started to compare themselves or when you're talking down to yourself. Lesley Logan 18:53  Oh, great. Brad Crowell 18:54  Yeah. And I did this today while I was listening to the pod. She said hey, listen, when you catch yourself in that cycle of, you know, shit-talking yourself, or, you know, if you're in a conversation, if you're, or if you're mentally comparing yourself to someone else. She said, hey, take a moment. Put your hand on your heart, and breathe in for five seconds. Hold it for five seconds. And then breathe out for five seconds. And she said do it again. But this time, say here. And then when you breathe out, say now. So say, breathe in, here, hold for five seconds. And then breathe out and say now and the idea is that you're in the here and now you are here and now and it's a way to kind of bring yourself back into you know this moment. And instead of you, it will allow you to jumpstart that negative rut of comparison, the negativity, beating yourself up. And instead it brings you back to the moment, the present. I thought that was a really cool little tool.Lesley Logan 20:08  I really liked it, I liked, I think it's really great. And I also liked that you can, it, afterwards, you'll be able to, you'll be calmer and you'll be able to figure out how you want to move forward. You know, I think like, if you get all up in your head, you start to you can't really it's you go into the way you are ingrained to think about yourself and talk to yourself and, and you go over the thing about the actions you, someone who's been working on loving yourself, working on being more body positive and kind and also thinking about other things in this world. You know, that, that you can actually take actions from that place, which is really cool. Okay, she actually, this is so cool, I had no idea that she has a journal coming out. And so she said she'll share it when it's available. But we have this rule guys, we actually say, if you're gonna talk about journaling, you have to tell people what to do. So as soon as she said, you're gonna journal, I was just like, Jenny, we have rules, we have rules, you're not allowed to talk about journaling, unless you tell people, but she came prepared. She will have a journal prompt that is going to be 90 ways in 90 days. So 90 ways to love your body in 90 days. Which is great. We'll let you know when that's available. But in the meantime, you can set a timer for five minutes. And free-write, literally write everything that's going on in your head. Don't worry about grammar or punctuation. It literally takes five minutes that can change your life and boosts creativity. And I, we've talked about like the artist's way on a show before and you know, like, everyone's like it takes me forever to write three pages. I'm like, how does it take you forever? To write three pages, you must be thinking about your grammar, your punctuation, like what to write, you're supposed to free-right. Free-write is just like a total brain dump. And so it really is really a great way to journal whenever you kind of, if you are starting to feel a little down yourself, you're starting to shame or judge yourself. You notice that you just had lunch and all your friends talked about what diet they're on. You can free-write to let that go. Oh, is August giving kisses? It's a new thing guys. He's working on it. Normally when he gives kisses he also like bats his head up and maybe tips you with his nose a little bit. But now he's actually learning how to kiss but it's the wettest kiss. It's like the whole tongue has to be part of it, so.Brad Crowell 22:21  If you're on YouTube, you can see August He just joined the show.Lesley Logan 22:24  If you are not on YouTube, we are on YouTube. You can watch it. Yeah, you can. So anyways, though, thank you, Jenny Schatzle for coming back and reminding us it's been a couple of years since we had you on the show reminding us to love ourselves to change the conversation, to break the cycle. Y'all, please, please, please, like, write down a few different ways to greet your friends that don't have anything to do with like, like, oh, you've lost five pounds. You can say you look powerful. Oh my god, I love the, I love being around your energy. You light up a room. You know, like there's so many different things you can say that have nothing to do with the person's actual physical looks. And it's so true. Jenny was talking about her friend who like, complimented her abs when she was like breastfeeding. And now every time she's around that friend she like thinks about her abs like she's self-conscious that she doesn't have them. Whatever. It is so true. Because I have been in the bathroom when people have talked about me when I've been when I was too skinny. I've talked about me in the bathroom, you know that when I gained weight and I was in the bathroom, I was so afraid to be in the bathroom with other people because I was just conscious of like, what if they saw me now, they're gonna, now they're gonna say I now I've gained weight like, so it's true. We, like these things. leave a mark on us. At any rate, I'm Lesley Logan.Brad Crowell 23:32  And I'm Brad Crowell.Lesley Logan 23:32  Thank you so much for listening to us today. Brad Crowell 23:34  Thank you, thank you. Lesley Logan 23:36  Please share this with a friend who needs to hear it, a sibling or family member that if you are not wanting to talk about weight with when you come to the next holiday event, you know, Fourth of July is around the corner. And if you're in the States, if you're not in the States, and I'm sure you have a holiday coming up, and please do leave us a review. They do mean the world to us at the time of recording this we almost have 100. So it'd be really cool if we had 100 reviews before we hit 400 episodes which is coming up. And until next, Be It Till You See It. Brad Crowell 24:05  Bye for now. Lesley Logan 24:07  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

In this special episode, EMPIRE LINES returns to Ingrid Pollard's 2022 exhibition, Carbon Slowly Turning, the first major survey of her career photographing Black experiences beyond the city and urban environments, in the English countryside. It marks the artist's participation in Invasion Ecology, a season of contemporary land art across South West England in summer 2024, questioning what we mean by ‘native' and what it means to belong. Since the 1980s, artist Ingrid Pollard has explored how Black and British identities are socially constructed, often through historical representations of the rural landscape. Born in Georgetown, Guyana, Ingrid draws on English and Caribbean photographic archives, with works crossing the borders of printmaking, sculpture, audio, and video installations. Their practice confronts complex colonial histories, and their legacies in our contemporary lived experiences, especially concerning race, sexuality, and identity. Curated by the artist and Gilane Tawadros, Carbon Slowly Turning led to Pollard's shortlisting for the Turner Prize 2022. From its iteration at the Turner Contemporary in Margate, Ingrid exposes the pre-Windrush propaganda films beneath works like Bow Down and Very Low -123 (2021), her plural influences from Maya Angelou to Muhammad Ali, and playing on popular culture with works in the Self Evident series (1992). As a Stuart Hall Associate Fellow at the University of Sussex, and with a PhD-by-publication, the artist discusses the role of research in her media-based practice. Finally, Ingrid opens her archive of depictions of African figures 'hidden in plain sight' in English towns and villages - from classical portraiture, to ‘Black Boy' pub signs. Ingrid Pollard: Carbon Slowly Turning ran at MK Gallery in Milton Keynes, the Turner Contemporary in Margate, and Tate Liverpool, throughout 2022. The exhibition was supported by the Freelands Foundation and Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art, and the episode first released as part of EMPIRE LINES at 50. Invasion Ecology is co-curated by Jelena Sofronijevic for Radical Ecology, and Vashti Cassinelli at Southcombe Barn, an arts space and gardens on Dartmoor. The central group exhibition, featuring Ingrid Pollard, Iman Datoo, Hanna Tuulikki, Ashish Ghadiali, Fern Leigh Albert, and Ashanti Hare, runs from 1 June to 10 August 2024. The wider programme includes anti-colonial talks and workshops with exhibiting artists, writers, researchers, and gardeners, reimagining more empathic connections between humans, plants, animals, and landscapes. Ingrid will join EMPIRE LINES in conversation with Corinne Fowler, Professor of Colonialism and Heritage in Museum Studies at the University of Leicester, Director of Colonial Countryside: National Trust Houses Reinterpreted, and author of Our Island Stories: Country Walks through Colonial Britain (2024), in July 2024. For more information, follow Radical Ecology and Southcombe Barn on social media. You can also listen to the EMPIRE LINES x Invasion Ecology Spotify playlist, for episodes with Paul Gilroy, Lubaina Himid, Johny Pitts, and Imani Jacqueline Brown, plus partners from the University of Exeter, KARST, CAST, and the Eden Project in Cornwall. Ingrid Pollard's Three Drops of Blood (2022), commissioned by talking on corners (Dr Ella S. Mills and Lorna Rose), also explores representations of ferns, botany, and folk traditions in Devon's historic lace-making industry. First exhibited at Thelma Hubert Gallery in Honiton, it is now part of the permanent collection of The Box in Plymouth, where it will be displayed from 19 October 2024.

Artist LR (Lisa) Vandy shows EMPIRE LINES the ropes in a studio visit to Chatham's Royal Navy Dockyard in Kent, unravelling entangled imperial and industrial relationships, dance in the African diaspora, and women's work in abstract sculpture. In 2022, sculptor LR (Lisa) Vandy relocated her studio from the city of London to Chatham Ropery which, with original machinery from the 19th century, has preserved traditional practices and knowledges. Rope became essential to Britain's burgeoning maritime industry during the Georgian and Victorian eras, tied to the construction of empires, colonial hierarchies, and sites of slavery. Building in collaboration with the resident Master Ropemakers, her sculptures allude to and playfully subvert the media's historic associations and legacy now. From her five-metre-high figure for Liverpool's Canning Dock, to her new, smaller body of works, Lisa walks through her collection and archive on Kent's waterfront. Born in Coventry in the Midlands, she shares her experiences of growing up ‘by the sea' in Sussex as a young person of Nigerian and Irish heritages, and the racialised exclusion some face from leisurely pursuits in natural environments. Inspired by Barbara Ehrenreich's 2006 book, Dancing In The Streets, Lisa unravels ‘collective joy' and the central role of Black women. We see how dance has been used to resist oppression across continents, with spirit dances, raves, festivals, and carnival masquerades, interests shared by contemporaries like Theaster Gates, Hew Locke, Romuald Hazoumè, Zak Ové, and Hassan Hajjaj. Straw-fibre figures recall Grain Mother deities, corn dollies, and Kumpo, spinning dances from the Casamance (Senegal) and Gambia. With her ongoing series of Hulls, comprised of found objects, boats, and fishing floats ‘plundered' from DIY stores, we discuss her interest in the ‘underbelly of empire', knotty relationships between rail, sail, and transport, and ‘migrant crises' in the Mediterranean Sea today. Drawing on her research in museum collections, ancient silverwares, and indigo trade routes, Lisa moves on the discussion about globalised 'African masks' as symbols of ‘aggressive protection'. We discuss gender and identity, and how her curvilinear copper sculptures challenge conventional representations of the ‘female form'. Dynamic drawings of tornados tell of her designs for statues in the landscape - role models for those subject to the male gaze - exposing the empowering potential of contemporary art. Plus, Lisa shares why her tactile public artworks are designed to be destroyed. LR Vandy: Twist runs at the October Gallery in London until 25 May 2024. Dancing In Time: The Ties That Bind Us, commissioned by Liverpool Museums for the International Slavery Museum's Martin Luther King celebrations in 2023, stands at the Historic Dockyard Chatham in Kent until 17 November 2024. On harvest rituals, hear episodes about Ashanti Hare's performances at Against Apartheid at KARST in Plymouth (2023) and Invasion Ecology on Dartmoor (2024), and Learning from Artemisia (2019-2020), by Uriel Orlow and Orchestre Jeunes Étoiles des Astres, at the Eden Project in Cornwall. For more photographs of Black experiences in English coastal towns, and about the transatlantic ‘Triangular Trade' between Europe, Africa, and the Americas, hear Ingrid Pollard on ⁠Carbon Slowly Turning (2022)⁠ at Turner Contemporary in Margate. For more women working in port cities, read into: Lisetta Carmi: Identities, at the Estorick Collection in London. Magdalena Abakanowicz: Every Tangle of Thread and Rope, at Tate Modern in London.

The first Orchid Isle cozy mystery, set in tropical Hilo, Hawai'i, introduces a fun and feisty LGBTQ+ couple who swap surfing lessons for sleuthing sessions!Retired caterer Valerie Corbin and her wife Kristen have come to the Big Island of Hawai'i to treat themselves to a well-earned tropical vacation. After the recent loss of her brother, Valerie is in sore need of a distraction from her troubles and is looking forward to enjoying the delicious food and vibrant culture the state has to offer.Early one morning, the couple and their friend - tattooed local boy, Isaac - set out to see an active lava flow, and Valerie is mesmerized by the shape-shifting mass of orange and red creeping over the field of black rock. Spying a boot in the distance, she strides off alone, pondering how it could have gotten there, only to realize to her horror that the boot is still attached to a leg - a leg which is slowly being engulfed by the hot lava.Valerie's convinced a murder has been committed - but as she's the only witness to the now-vanished corpse, who's going to believe her?Determined to prove what she saw, and get justice for the unknown victim, Valerie launches her own investigation. But, thrown into a Hawaiian culture far from the luaus and tiki bars of glossy tourist magazines, she soon begins to fear she may be the next one to end up entombed in shiny black rock . . .Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio.

Preaching for the Second Sunday of Easter, Layla A. Karst reflects on our call to be credible witnesses to the Resurrection in today's world: "We are an Easter people, a community of missionary disciples, beloved of God and witnesses to the resurrection. Ours is a church that is called to be radically inclusive. Our Easter joy is abundant enough to share with all and still have more left over. Our joy is deep enough to hold grief and sorrow and anger and doubt without fear. We are recognizable by our joy, yes, but also by our wounds, and by the Spirit within us that greets all with a word of peace." Dr. Layla A. Karst is an assistant professor in the department of Theological Studies at Loyola Marymount University where she teaches and writes at the intersection of liturgy and ecclesiology. She is currently studying the theology and practice of lay preaching in Catholic communities and their implications for building a more synodal church. She holds a PhD from Emory University and an MDiv from the University of Notre Dame.

Artist Serge Attukwei Clottey joins EMPIRE LINES live at the Eden Project in Cornwall, to discuss Afrogallonism, uplifting communities with upcycled plastic waste, and how the traditional Ghanaian harvest festival of Homowo challenges colonial hierarchies of gender. Accra-based artist Serge Attukwei Clottey works across installation, performance, photography, painting, and sculpture, exploring personal and political narratives rooted in histories of trade and migration. He refers to his practice with yellow plastic, Kufuor-era, cooking oil cans as ‘Afrogallonism', using found and recycled materials to create a dialogue with the city's cultural history and identity, whilst exploring the meanings that are invested in everyday objects, and how they circulate in local and global economies. Referencing Ghana's historic wealth, a region known as the Gold Coast during British colonial rule during 19th and 20th century, Serge's installations like Follow the Yellow Brick Road (2015-2020) also serve a practical function, in creating wealth and employment for the local community. On display alongside his existing work at the Eden Project is a new audio piece, a remembrance of famine that once befell pre-colonial Ghana, and is once again impacting farmers as a consequence of climate change. Serge talks about his family's migration from city of Jamestown/Usshertown, in British Accra, to La (Labadi), on the coast, and how water has long infiltrated his practice. We discuss the realities of resource extraction and consumption captured by his work, connecting with the likes of Romauld Hazoumè, El Anatsui, Zina Saro-Wiwa, and Wura-Natasha Ogunji. Serge shares his interest in political performance art, and collaborating with young people. We open My Mother's Wardrobe (2015-2016), in which Serge invited men to wear women's clothes and make-up to perform everyday and ritual tasks, disrupting conventions of gender and sexuality imposed upon and appropriated by many African countries during colonial rule. And Serge talks about his commissions across the world, from Desert X, to Kew Gardens, and the National Portrait Gallery in London, where his Windrush Portrait of Mr. Laceta Reid proudly stands.

Curators Hannah Hooks and Misha Curson connect global environments and food practices, from guerrilla gardeners in the Democratic Republic of Congo, to foragers in Palestine, challenging extractive, colonial approaches to land through contemporary art at the Eden Project in Cornwall. Artemisia afra – or African wormwood – is traditionally used as a medicine to prevent and treat malaria. This knowledge long been passed down through generations and communities via music and craft, both marginalised in Western rational thought. In the 1970s, research to develop new anti-malarial drugs led to the discovery, extraction, and patenting of Artemisin - already used for two thousand years in China and Asia. Whilst still cultivated by some women's cooperatives in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the plant, and its producers, have been continually suppressed and banned, by the Belgian colonial administration in the 19th century, to the World Health Organisation (WHO) and Big Pharma businesses. With a multimedia installation of film, song, and tea tastings, Swiss artist Uriel Orlow seeks to platform these ongoing practices. He joins other contemporary artists in Acts of Gathering, a new exhibition at the Eden Project in Cornwall which explores how our relationship with food is linked with the land, environment, and labour that goes into its production. Harvest festivals in Homowo in Ghana and Guldize in Cornwall link the different practices of Serge Attukwei Clottey and Jonathan Baldock. Meanwhile, in Jumana Manna's film FORAGERS (2022), we see how Israeli nature protection laws prohibit the foraging of native plants, alienating Palestinians from their land, and sustainable harvesting practices. Curators Misha Curson and Hannah Hooks connect traditions across cultures, acknowledging how human and planetary health are also entwined. We discuss legacies of extraction in science, botany, and renewed mining in Africa. Misha and Hannah suggest why some local methods are classed (and commodified) as sustainable, while others are marginalised by globalisation, industrial farming, and neoimperial hierarchies. Plus, we discuss the opportunities Eden presents for public participation, access, and activation as a non-conventional museum space, its position within the wider arts ecology of south-west England, and its own regeneration, as a former clay mine. Acts of Gathering runs at the Eden Project in Cornwall until 14 April 2024. For more, join EMPIRE LINES in conversation with artist Serge Attukwei Clottey at Reclaim - a weekend of talks and events at Eden, curated to support mental and planetary wellbeing - which takes place from 27-28 January 2024: edenproject.com/visit/whats-on/reclaim For more about the arts ecology of south-west England, hear curator Ashish Ghadiali on Radical Ecology's recent exhibition at KARST in Plymouth, on EMPIRE LINES: pod.link/1533637675/episode/146d4463adf0990219f1bf0480b816d3 And Morad Montazami, curator of the Casablanca Art School (1962-1987), currently at Tate St Ives in Cornwall: pod.link/1533637675/episode/db94bc51e697400326f308f6c6eaa3c6 For more on music, memory, and history, hear Barbican curator Eleanor Nairne on Julianknxx's Chorus in Rememory of Flight (2023), on EMPIRE LINES: pod.link/1533637675/episode/1792f53fa27b8e2ece289b53dd62b2b7 And on the globalisation of 'African' masks, listen to Osei Bonsu, curator of A World in Common: Contemporary African Photography at Tate Modern: pod.link/1533637675/episode/386dbf4fcb2704a632270e0471be8410 WITH: Misha Curson and Hannah Hooks, Senior Arts Curator and Arts Curator at the Eden Project, Cornwall.

Trade Secrets is on a holiday break, but in the meantime, we wanted to share some of Travel Weekly and TravelAge West's other podcasts with our listeners. This week's episode is Humans of Travel, hosted by Trade Secrets co-host Emma Weissmann, featuring AmaWaterways' Kristin Karst. If you've worked in the travel industry for any length of time, you're probably familiar with Karst. The co-owner and executive vice president of river cruise line AmaWaterways, Karst is a staple at most travel industry conferences, perhaps best known for her bubbly personality, welcoming demeanor and close, personal relationships with travel advisors. However, many travel industry colleagues may not know Karst's unique backstory. She was born and grew up in Dresden, a German town along the Elbe River, in what was formerly Eastern Germany, under a regime that mostly kept Karst and her family isolated from the Western World. In this episode of Humans of Travel, Karst reflects on a childhood spent under the Socialist Unity Party of Germany, and how the limited travel her family was able to do allowed her to gain an appreciation for all that Eastern Europe had to offer and fostered an early love of tourism. Karst will also dive into what it was like when the Berlin Wall came down in 1989, and how she got her start in the travel industry as a leisure manager at American Express Travel, a role that she kept until she moved to Southern California and met Rudi Schreiner, her husband-to-be and the former president of Viking Cruises. Listeners will hear Karst reflect on the early days of AmaWaterways, how she keeps her work-life balance in check and what's behind her unwavering positivity. Need advice?

Curator and filmmaker Ashish Ghadiali connects climate science, contemporary art, and activism, cultivating a radical, cultural ecology in the countryside of south-west England, in their multidisciplinary exhibition, Against Apartheid. As environmental crises disproportionately affect Black and brown communities, and the resulting displacement often racialised, should we consider these states of ‘climate apartheid'? And could contemporary art help to bridge the gap between science and academics, and everyday action guidance? Against Apartheid, a multidisciplinary exhibition in Plymouth, puts these practices, histories, and geographies in conversation, from vast wallpapers charting global warming, to an intimate portrait of Ella Kissi-Debrah, and plantation paylists collected by the Barbadian artist Annalee Davis, linking land ownership in Scotland and the Caribbean from the 19th century Abolition Acts. Other works affirm how historic ecologies of empire – African enslavement, the middle passage, and the genocide of Indigenous peoples - continue to shape our present and future, in the geopolitics of international borders, migration, and travel. Activist and filmmaker Ashish Ghadiali talks about his work as ‘organisation', not curation, and how we can resist the individualisation that prevents effective collective political action. From his background in film, he suggests why museums and exhibitions might be better places for screenings than cinemas, outside of the market. We discuss why both rural countryside and urban city landscapes should be considered through the lens of empire, drawing on ‘post-plantation' and anti-colonial thinkers like Paul Gilroy, Françoise Vergès, Sylvie Séma Glissant, and Grada Kilomba. We relocate Plymouth's global history, a focus since #BLM, reversing the notion of the particular and ‘regional' as peripheral to the capital. We explore the wider arts ecology in south-west England, and how local connections with artists like Kedisha Coakley at The Box, and Iman Datoo at the University of Exeter and the Eden Project in Cornwall, also inform his work with global political institutions like the UN. Against Apartheid runs at KARST in Plymouth until 2 December 2023, part of Open City, a season of decolonial art and public events presented by Radical Ecology and partners across south-west England.

Today, Jesse and Chris discuss the distinction between sinkholes and karst topography.  There is a surprisingly large portion of the U.S. that has potential to be affected by karst.  It is also extremely important as a source of drinking water.  We also discuss the distinction between the technical definition of karst and what is called pseudokarst.  Below is a link to the article and diagram we allude to in the show.  We hope you enjoy.https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/feart.2023.1207689/fullWe now have a live Mobile App for iOS and Android.
