“Place” is not a neutral concept. It is simultaneously a physical, social and metaphysical location and one that is inherently political. To varying degrees, we all shape and are shaped by the places we inhabit.
During this session, we will explore what place means to us and how we can be in the practice of making, taking and keeping places for justice and liberation. We will begin with building a foundation for this practice by unpacking why place justice is important. We will then move into a meditation on place, followed by discussion in pairs and in the larger group to unpack, disentangle and clarify our relationship to place and how we can make, take and keep place in liberatory ways.
Join me for a 2-hour workshop to daylight some key themes we will explore in more depth in an upcoming 5-week course, Reclaiming Permaculture & Placemaking for Liberation - dates TBA.
