Hydrofeminist METitations Episode 3: The Americas ENSAYOS Listening Series

    • Artes visuales

Episode three is set in the Americas — in Chile and in New York. In this episode we think with wetlands. We squish through them — in real life and in our imaginations. We experiment with lending each other our ears and our voices to create a chorus — many forms of naming the things that we love and care for. Hema’ny Molina, a poet who is president of the Selk’nam Corporation Chile. The Selk’nam people are one of four communities Indigenous to Tierra del Fuego. Hema’ny shares her manifesto about caring for peat bogs as a form of cultural resistance. Christy Gast, an artist who lives on a wetland in New York state, wonders how field-based research can happen at home in the time of COVID. Dr. Bárbara Saavedra is the director of the Wildlife Conservation Society in Chile, advocates for peatland conservation, and has created a road map for how Chile should do this. Camila Marambio, who founded Ensayos, takes us on a guided tour of the olfactory system, and Fuente Papudo performs a tune based on a Chilote folk song. Catalina Jaramillo hosts the episode.
