Multilingual Kinship with Nature
Wednesday November 5, 18:30-20:00

How do we cultivate kinship with the natural world and its more-than-human inhabitants through language? Inspired by Robin Wall Kimmerer's thinking on the grammar of animacy in Potawatomi and English, we will experiment with her recommendations to also include grammars of other languages brought to our conversation by those who will join us for the evening. We will read short excerpts from Kimmerer's The Democracy of Species, and try out various strategies in writing. Expect fun invitations to write mini-texts in order to help us reflect on Indigenous and our own ways of relating to nature.

Please bring something to write with and on. No knowledge of grammar required :) Texts only shared if you want to.
