well, football never really went away did it? a dog darn shame about the result though

very grateful for the wonderful contributions to “Burning Matters” @forarthistory.org.uk, papers addressing contemporary Canadian art and indigenous rituals of fire, Piero di Cosimo’s wildfire paintings, Steve McQueen and the Grenfell Fire disaster, and photography and forged wildfire narratives

a case of what could have been these past few weeks…

Next week I am speaking as part of the Highworth Climate Talks. Do come along if you’re local!

About a month ago, I presented my lecture, Conserving ‘Sodom and Gomorrah’: Nature, Urbanism, Technology, at Bern Academy of the Arts for the inaugural Natureculture Lab

For anyone interested, you can now watch my lecture (from 42:00) on the link below ⬇️
