More-Than-Human Book Club event – Gathering Moss by Robin Wall Kimmerer

Published by

The Barbican, London, UK 15.04.23 | 14:30 – 15:30 BST and online 17.04.23 | 19:00 – 20:00 BST For April we will co-journey together in reading Gathering Moss. Together we will learn how mosses might be “a model for how we might live” (Kimmerer) and each go on a guided individual moss pilgrimage to connect with the sensualities of one of the world’s oldest plants. Drawing on her life as a scientist, a mother, and a Native American, Kimmerer explains the stories of mosses in scientific terms as well as within the framework of indigenous ways of knowing. In her book, the natural history and cultural relationships of mosses become a powerful metaphor for ways of living in the world.

Furthermore, studios have been associated with an inspiration and an independence that, when it comes to output, give rise to an oscillation between vast expectations and often-uncertain outcomes. Part of the Series ‘The Artist’s Space: Situating the Studio Today’ with Marysia Lewandowska and Alice Pedroletti, moderated by Cristina Baldacci and Claudia Peppel. This event is particularly concerned with the gendered coding of the studio. Is the studio still a gendered place and, if yes, what kind of frame does it provide for female artists today? Do they — who have often been denied creative agency …
