#5: We Can Dream and Create Deep Time Forests into Our Land - Evgenia Emets

For episode #5 we invited Evgenia Emets: a visual artist and founder of Eternal Forest, who believes the land is a sentient being with its own dream. And that if we learn to listen, it will tell us exactly what it needs.  🪨 Her starting point is deep time. In her latest artwork a fossilized tree inspired the question: if forests once covered this land, what stops us from dreaming them back into existence? Evgenia explains how art can play an important role in exploring and understanding deep time and forest time.  🌳 We also unpack her vision for Eternal Forest which she founded with an ambition to create 1.000 forest sanctuaries for 1.000 years. “If we don’t dream 1.000 years, who will?”  📚 The Overstory by Richard Powers  🐚 Evgenia’s souvenir for you: explore how to live in forest time. Find an old growth forest. Observe. What is esthetically and emotionally there? Notice how it feels different from young plantation forests. It might change your life… Find more information on Evgenia's website, on her YouTube channel @EvgeniaEmets and visit www.eternalforest.earth Hosted by: Daphne FrühmannEditing: Axel FrühmannMusic: Mark OomenInstagram: @theartofcoexistenceAn Ourcelium Publishers podcast
