PLAi member, Nanvi, guided us through a sound-art provocation in which we listened to different sounds of nature and were invited to make different kinds of marks without looking. We then reflected on the marks/artwork created and the feelings they inspired in us.
We reflected on Loris Malaguzzi's words in "Your Image of the Child" and thought about it in relation to an article of mine that was recently published by Exchange Press, and sections from Anthropocene Childhoods by Emily Ashton.
The importance of showing the "beauty of diversity of everyone, all the species, all the places...How can we make people see something that they don't see even when it's right in front of them?"
How do we tune into those realities of them [the children] and ourselves? There's a strong SEL component...There's nothing light about it."
