Film poems from Slam Out Loud (India) and Toby Thompson (China)
“We used to frame forests as scary, dangerous places and are now telling such a different story of caretaking. I can’t think of anything I’ve seen that expresses that better or with more delight. That some should grow up with a love of nature seems to me to be a deeply positive and hopeful statement.” Margaret Heffernan, international author
This event is open to Fellows and non-Fellows, everyone is welcome.
