“We are human only in contact, and conviviality, with what is not human.”
David Abram
Leading voices of Australia’s First Peoples and North American cultural ecologist David Abram explore our place in the more-than-human world
Mon 6th Dec • Wed 8th Dec • Fri 10th Dec
12.30-2.30pm AEDT (UTC+11)* on Zoom
This series of three yarning circles will probe how our thinking and acting in the world is shaped by cultural understandings of language, place and time.
Australia’s First Peoples understand well that there exists no separation between humans and the more-than-human world – that humans, with all our culture and technology, remain fully embedded within, and participant with, an animate world that far exceeds all our knowing. Such insights also pulse at the heart of North American cultural ecologist David Abram’s work. His dialogues with Australian Indigenous thinkers will explore the convergences, and contrasts, between Western ecological ideas and Indigenous knowledges.
