— Sustainability was a first question: How do we avoid making things worse?

— Regeneration is the next: How can life flourish?

Knowledge comes in salt, breath, movement, presence. At Liquid Kin — TBA21's ocean comm/uni/ty festival — we practiced the ocean as method, letting art flow as tide: ethical, regenerative, alive.

Some weeks ago, I had the honour of listening to Sámi scholar Harald Gaski.

He spoke gently and clearly, of stories — not only of people, but of land. And of ways of relating to that larger each other.

He quoted Darren Parry.

Today on #EarthDay, these words reverberate, like roots finding water.
