this sacred withering: an exploration of climate grief and mourning

this sacred withering: an exploration of climate grief and mourning is the culmination of creative, contemplative research and making that explores experiencing grief during climate change. Through the lens of Decolonial environmental praxis, Shadow Ecology, and process-based photographic making, historic colonial realities and mythologies are exposed alongside inner callings to be in deeper relationship with the beauty and shadows of our own experiences of climate grief and mourning. What does it mean to co-create alongside the Earth and touch our own grief? How do we make these realities tangible without causing further harm? What does it mean as a white artist to shine a light on violent colonial histories while creating healing conversations and creating space for others to touch their own experiences? By locating a creative practice within healing paradigms and honoring the shared grief between ourselves and the Earth, we can begin to invite new ways of existing with and dismantling harmful systems that allow all of us to comfort one another, and our one precious Earth.
