Embracing the Obstacle

A walk is shaped not only by where it leads, but by who takes part. In Beveren, encounters with residents of De Bron and De Stroom show how different bodies, rhythms and vulnerabilities make walking a shared practice of attention, care and belonging.

Hemingway, Thoreau, Jefferson and the Virtues of a Good Long Walk | HuffPost Life

There are many problems and paradoxes to which walking is the solution. For instance: In our culture of overwork, burnout, and exhaustion, in which we’re connected and distracted 24/7 from most things that are truly important in our lives, how do we tap into our creativity, our wisdom, our capacity for wonder, our well-being and

Lightship

The lightship pictured is on the marshes, landlocked and redundant as a provider of maritime safety. On a sunny day, with the tide out, it can look rather odd. However,on a misty night, it can still shine out, a glimmer of light in the gloom. Here is a story about the lightship offering hope and…

13. Celeste Snowber, Embodied Inquiry: Writing, Living, and Being through the Body

One of the things I’m interested in exploring is embodied knowledge—that is, knowledge that is produced by the senses and held by the body. Maybe the embodied quality of that knowledge is only metaphorical; maybe that knowledge is actually in the brain and not in the body. I don’t know. That’s one of my questions. […]

Chloe Valerie Nature Art

It’s safe to say that I’m obsessed with nature. Writing aChloe Valeriebout it, learning about it, drawing it and, most of all, being in it! I find it comforting, astounding and invigorating in equal measure. Through my work, I hope to open people’s eyes, hearts and minds to nature, so that they can appreciate the beauty around them and care about the conservation issues that our wildlife faces. We are a part of nature, and our detachment from it in this modern world is the reason we struggle, physically and mentally. I hope to repair these bonds. I’ve written many pieces on nature, the environment, conservation, sustainability, wildlife, mindfulness, mental health and well-being. I’ve also written nature journals and poetry about my local flora and fauna, and sketched and painted them, too. In 2021, I was the Creative Manager and Editor for the Volume 3 ‘Forests’ issue of Bloom in Doom Magazine. Please see the ‘Bloom in Doom Magazine’ tab for more information.

GPS, geo-poetic system

Geo-poetic system was a term coined by Lucy Frears during locative media art research (published 2017). The basis of geopoetics, a theory and practice developed by Scottish philosopher and poet Kenneth White, is to connect humans to the lines of the earth (White cited in McManus 2007: 183), or ‘what’s out there’ (Ingold 1993; 154; White 2005: 200; White 2006: 9). The contact White describes is often between the human mind and the earth, what he calls ‘landscape-mindscape’ (Legendre 2011: 121). Because of the embodied nature of locative media experiences using a smartphone in landscape for these walking art experiences using gps technologies Frears expanded this notion to being ‘landscape-mindscape-bodyscape’ (2017).
