TALK: Visiting Speakers, Bristol UK



For PLace / Land2  Visiting Speaker Series, dance ecologists Rachel Sweeney and Marnie Orr
discuss their ‘live research’ practice mapping transnational experience paralleled with geological phenomena and environmental themes between the UK and Australia.

They examine their own model for ethical action working at the front line. Full abstract link
