I make opportunities to foster an experience of wonder, to commune with the beings that we live with, and to catalyze an urgent response to the ecological story of our time.

The Urban Tree Oracle: Ailanthus (Tree of Heaven) with Matthew Battles
Tuesday August 12 6:30-8:00 (rain date Thursday August 14)
Join us on Tuesday August 12 at the Arnold Arboretum for an evening of movement, drawing, and sounding with Ailanthus, otherwise known as Tree of Heaven. Ailanthus is all around us, flourishing in ruderal worlds usually considered hostile to life: along roads and railways, in sidewalk cement cracks, in abandoned urban lots. Their story is one of complex ecologies with multiple strands that reach into human sensory experience, geopolitical imagination, colonialism, urban decay and revitalization, and so much more.
