Dear colleagues,
This is the final call for participation - *apologies for cross-posting*
art.earth,
our partners The
Royal Forestry Society and Timber Strategies and our
academic partner Science Walden @ Ulsan National Institute of Science &
Technology (UNIST) invite proposals to an international forum: Evolving the Forest.
This three-day international forum brings together creative
thinkers and doers to explore physically and figuratively our relationship with
wood, trees and forest over the past hundred years, and imagining that evolving
relationship over the next 100. Keynote and featured speakers include Prof
Kathy Willis (St Edmund Hall, Oxford), Prof Fiona Stafford (Univ. of Oxford),
Beccy Speights (Woodland Trust), Sir Harry Studholme (Forestry Commission), and
writer/broadcaster Piers Taylor.
The event takes place June 19-21, 2019 at Dartington Hall,
Devon UK.
We particularly welcome submissions that challenge conventions
of the academic conference: in what senses may we approach in our behaviours,
our speech, our work, our ideas and ethos, the notion of voicing the forest? We
invite you to explore participatory workshops, discursive formats (interviews,
on-stage conversations, etc.), artist presentations, and performative
disturbance and/or interventions.
The FINAL
deadline for submissions is November 19 2018 (22.00 GMT). All proposals must be submitted
online at evolvingtheforest.uk/proposal-form
For full details visit evolvingtheforest.uk
Evolving the Forest Lead Convenor is Prof. Richard Povall.
