Talks On Art
Led by Dr Erica Fudge
Animals in proximity
2pm - 4:30pm
Animals in proximity and the broken skin: Mice, rats, moles, bats, and bugs.
Erica will discuss the fragility of our perceived separation from other species and lead the conversation about the contradictions and anxieties that are fostered when such insulation is threatened or breached.
Led by Dr Chris Wilbert
The wild and the cultivated
2pm - 4:30pm
The wild and the cultivated: Raptors, pigeons, the feral, and the fancied.
As an environmental geographer, Chris has a particular interest in how places are used. The discussion will allow the audience to explore the difficulties and opportunities arising from the idea of contested space.
Led by Dr Peter Lurz
The threat of the new
2pm - 4:30pm
The desirable neighbour and the threat of the new: Red squirrel, grey squirrel, and Pandora’s box.
The discussion will draw on ideas of the alien, the indigenous, and of nationhood and sustainability, in relation to human and non-human cohabitation.
