We launched ‘Restorying Landscapes in a Changing Climate’, virtually on Friday 29 August, 2022. This is a new creative project in collaboration with the Living Story Landscapes Project (Philippines), and the Hawkwood Centre for Future Thinking (United Kingdom).
Restorying Landscapes in a Changing Climate is a co-creative initiative bringing together artists and communities based in the Philippines and the UK to collaborate on restoring their natural and cultural heritage for regenerative and climate-resilient futures.
Through our patnership with the Living Story Landscapes Project and the Hawkwood Centre for Future Thinking, we are combining our expertise in mobilizing creativity to engage communities and tell the story of their place. The project aims to help regenerate critical ecosystems, foster reparative relationships between South and North and limit the local impacts of climate change on individuals, communities and ecosystems.
During the virtual launch, the project was introduced by the project leaders:
- Sarah Queblatin: Founder & Director of Living Story Landscapes Project (Philippines)
- Alicia Carey: CEO of Hawkwood (United Kingdom)
- Laureline Simon: Founder & Director of One Resilient Earth (Germany)
Please check out the recording of the launch, during which we introduced the project, the organisations behind this initiative, our principles and aims whilst also enjoying performances from the following artists:
- Dom-an Florence Macagne who played the nose flute. Dom-an Florence Macagne is a community development worker volunteering her services under the Kasiyana Peace and Healing Initiatives. She belongs to the Kankana-ey speaking indigenous peoples of the Applai tribe in Sagada, Mountain Province, Cordillera Administrative Region, Philippines.
- Sam Lee who performed ‘Awake, Awake Sweet England.’ Sam Lee is a British folk singer and traditional music specialist. His debut album, Ground of its Own was shortlisted for the 2012 Mercury Music Award. Sam became known as a traditional music specialist dedicated to collecting, restoring, and sharing ancient music from Britain and Ireland; in particular from the Romany Gypsy and Irish traveler communities.
We announced a call for UK-based artists to take part in the project. The deadline is 26 August and further information is available here.
