Questions and framing
Building on activist and writer Derrick Jensen’s extraordinary books “A Language Older Than Words” first published in 2000, and “The Myth of Human Supremacy” published in 2016, we step into conversations about and with an animated, communicating, living world. How does human, more-than-human animals and plants communicate and share experiences and interact in the natural community? How can we open up new ways of listening and communicating with the world around us? What stories and messages do the trees, bushes, places, animals in Stadsskogen want to share with us? What do we want to share and tell the world being destroyed around us?
Where?
The walk will start outside of CEMUS, Villavägen 16 at 09.00 (be there a couple of minutes before 09.00). We will walk to Stadsskogen, then along the winding paths in Stadsskogen to Valltjärn where we will light a fire. Bring your own fika (thermos of coffee or tea and/or some food to share). And remember to wear warm clothes and warm shoes.
Background-video/presentation and starting points
There is a language older by far and deeper than words. It is the language of bodies, of body on body, wind on snow, rain on trees, wave on stone. It is the language of dream, gesture, symbol, memory. We have forgotten this language. We do not even remember that it exists.Derrick Jensen
