Do London Differently by London National Park City
Sip, Scratch and Sculpt, the expanded arts of making contact with nature.
Recorded live at This is Nature+ at Camley Street Natural Park, this episode brings together London National Park City Ranger Becky Lyon and Imogen Malpas (founder of climate-conscious clubbing collective Club SOL) to explore how we can make contact with nature through everyday culture, sound, and the senses.
In this episode
- What counts as “nature engagement”, and who gets to define it
- Raves, coffee, sculpture, and other “unexpected” routes into nature connection
- Touch, sound, smell, and the body as forms of knowledge (and resistance)
- Participation over perfection, making invitations rather than outputs
- Community, conflict, joy, and why gathering still matters
