Webs of Connectivity — with Sophie Macklin
“We are part of creating the future, we are inheriting the past, we’re always belonging to time.”
Webs of Connectivity begins with a poetic narration by Sophie and then flows into a deep conversation with carla. Sophie speaks to the importance of making and unmaking worlds within a practice of presence, and shares some potential pathways towards opening ourselves up to surprises within every moment or interaction so we can deepen our innate belonging. She also points to the very real horrors that lurk within the realities of Empire and our complicated identities, in particular whiteness. Woven throughout, Sophie offers vital reflections and a sense of comfort as many of us set out to (re)discover our often fractured connections across all time — including with our ancestors, our more than human kin, and throughout landscapes.
