Intangible Alberta returns, and we're headed outside! In this episode, we ventured into the Beaver Hills Biodiversity Trail with Métis artist Ariane Inman, Visual Arts Laureate of the Beaver Hills Biosphere.
Ariane and her partner Mel Schoenberger take us for a nature walk to discuss the art of birding, the history of place, and how spending time outdoors might open us up to reflect on our own human nature.
Ariane invites us to explore how land acknowledgement can be greater than something to say, but also be used as a form of gentle self inquiry: What can we learn from the land and those who were here before us?
Thank you to Ariane and Mel.
