Dear all,

We will be having our first episode of the More than Human: Creative Expressions series on the 29th of August, at 1 pm GMT/6:30 pm IST. A series of online sessions on creative expressions focussing on the more-than-human, this webinar series features people connecting to other species and the rest of nature in spiritual, artistic, and visceral ways.

What would it be like if a River could sing about her ordeal, turtles could speak of their incredible journeys across the seas as also of vanishing coasts, and Hoolock gibbons could narrate their relationship to trees? Indigenous peoples and other nature dependent local communities have always been in communication with the more-than human world, as everything has been alive with agency.

In recent times we have also seen people living in modern contexts expressing themselves as if they are a tree or a turtle or a river and so on, finding a voice within through deep listening of the natural world, and manifesting this through their writing, song making, drawing, research and activism.

We want to highlight voices from the Global South specifically, and so our first speaker is Alyen Foning, a shaman from the Lepcha community from India. She resides in her ancestral home, Kalimpong -the Lepcha community, with its sacred mountains and rivers, at the foothills of the Eastern Himalayas. Inspired by her Lepcha roots and reflections of her life's journey, Alyen uses her art and storytelling as a medium to help others remember their own ecological connections. Using fabrics, colours, music and design, her work serves as a bridge between the fields of art and research, and between ancestral pasts and future generations.

Through her storytelling we journey through longing, loss and disconnection. Finding our way forward through remembrance we delve into our origins, shamanism and our deep connection and interdependence to nature.

Date: 29th August 2024
