Educators Navigating Eco Anxiety

L U N A R_B I O M E PUBLIC PROGRAM

Educators Navigating Eco Anxiety 

11am - 2pm, Saturday 28 March

As the world becomes increasingly complex, how do we teach the challenges of ecological destruction, climate change and extinction whilst also offering active hope. During these interactive hours, we learn from experts and each other, about how we might navigate eco-anxiety in the classroom, university and beyond.

An Esk Studio and Joyality Project collaboration, hosted by ecopsychologist Dr Eshana Bragg and visual ecologist Dr Aviva Reed.

L U N A R_B I O M E

Bowing down through ancient pulse,

the last lovers left alive…

Cycles eclipse, collapse, re-birth...

The tide of breath that holds.

Bones to stones, the trees in lungs

The dark space of quiet minds.

Carbon devours, in ritual soil

the sacred loops of time.

The Endlings,

gatekeepers of what will be,

forever lovers in death.

L U N A R_B I O M E brings together notions of grief, imagination and play in response to the collective existential reckoning of the times.

Using interactive modes of ritual performance, art, science and education this sequence of work seeks new modes of collective meaning in a rapidly changing climate and its ensuing social uncertainty.

“Our stories are struggling to accommodate the seismic dysphoria of the time. In order to stay resilient and productive we must find the spaces to sit with loss between action, and in process envision new ways of defining narrative.”

This work was developed through a co- creational process by Al Stark, Antoinette O’Brien, Aviva Reed, Jade Dewi Tyas Tunggal and timecodespace.

This project was made possible through support of the Australian Government through Create NSW.
