Join us for a profound conversation between two visionary thinkers, Dr. John Hausdoerffer, environmental philosopher and professor at Western Colorado University, and Dr. Gavin Van Horn, executive editor of Humans and Nature Press, whose work has directly inspired this year\u2019s PhotoVogue Festival theme, The Tree of Life: A Love Letter to Nature. Together, they will explore how art and storytelling can inspire a joyful embrace of our interconnectedness in a more-than-human world.<\/p>\n
Their exploration of themes like kincentric ecology, the subjecthood of nonhuman beings, and the recognition of nonhuman persons has inspired this year\u2019s festival focus, which celebrates the interconnectedness of all life. Amidst the challenges of our era\u2014raging wildfires, devastating floods, prolonged droughts, and extreme temperatures\u2014this panel will delve into life-giving alternative narratives that deepen our understanding of kinship with the natural world.<\/p>\n
Drawing on themes from the Kinship and Elementals book series, the conversation will highlight: Kincentric Ecology: a cosmovision that sees all beings as interdependent kin; The Grammar of Animacy: acknowledging the subjecthood of other creatures, as Robin Wall Kimmerer describes; Nonhuman Rights: expanding recognition of nonhuman persons in legal and cultural contexts.<\/p>\n
Through shared stories, poems, and reflections, John and Gavin will illustrate how the practice of kinship is not only vital to our collective wellbeing but also a celebration of life itself. They will discuss how art\u2014whether through words, photography, or movement\u2014can awaken empathy and inspire us to care for a wildly entangled world of kin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","excerpt":"","slug":"gioie-elementari-della-parentela-di-john-hausdoerffer-e-gavin-van-horn","image":{"url":"https:\/\/base.milano.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kinship-belonging-in-a-world-of-relations-.jpg","id":26619,"extension":"jpg","width":1920,"height":1000,"filesize":535047,"sizes":{"medium":{"width":300,"height":156,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":11796,"url":"https:\/\/base.milano.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kinship-belonging-in-a-world-of-relations--300x156.jpg"},"large":{"width":1024,"height":533,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":57081,"url":"https:\/\/base.milano.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kinship-belonging-in-a-world-of-relations--1024x533.jpg"},"thumbnail":{"width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":8362,"url":"https:\/\/base.milano.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kinship-belonging-in-a-world-of-relations--150x150.jpg"},"medium_large":{"width":768,"height":400,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":38559,"url":"https:\/\/base.milano.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kinship-belonging-in-a-world-of-relations--768x400.jpg"},"1536x1536":{"width":1536,"height":800,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":97066,"url":"https:\/\/base.milano.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kinship-belonging-in-a-world-of-relations--1536x800.jpg"},"basemilano-slider-thumb-100":{"width":100,"height":100,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":6324,"url":"https:\/\/base.milano.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kinship-belonging-in-a-world-of-relations--100x100.jpg"},"basemilano-slider-thumb-400":{"width":400,"height":400,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":24145,"url":"https:\/\/base.milano.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kinship-belonging-in-a-world-of-relations--400x400.jpg"},"basemilano-slider-thumb-500":{"width":500,"height":500,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":32706,"url":"https:\/\/base.milano.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kinship-belonging-in-a-world-of-relations--500x500.jpg"},"basemilano-slider-thumb-960":{"width":960,"height":960,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":74008,"url":"https:\/\/base.milano.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kinship-belonging-in-a-world-of-relations--960x960.jpg"},"basemilano-slider-960-1440":{"width":960,"height":1000,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":76764,"url":"https:\/\/base.milano.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kinship-belonging-in-a-world-of-relations--960x1000.jpg"},"basemilano-hero-image-800-600":{"width":800,"height":600,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":54171,"url":"https:\/\/base.milano.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kinship-belonging-in-a-world-of-relations--800x600.jpg"},"basemilano-image-1300-650":{"width":1300,"height":650,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":76564,"url":"https:\/\/base.milano.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kinship-belonging-in-a-world-of-relations--1300x650.jpg"},"basemilano-hero-image-1800":{"width":1800,"height":700,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":92377,"url":"https:\/\/base.milano.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kinship-belonging-in-a-world-of-relations--1800x700.jpg"},"basemilano-hero-image-1800-450":{"width":1800,"height":450,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":56697,"url":"https:\/\/base.milano.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kinship-belonging-in-a-world-of-relations--1800x450.jpg"},"basemilano-hero-image-1920-650":{"width":1920,"height":650,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":88081,"url":"https:\/\/base.milano.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kinship-belonging-in-a-world-of-relations--1920x650.jpg"}}},"all_day":false,"start_date":"2025-03-08
