SUMMARY:John Muir’s Educational Vision: Perceiving the “Seamless Beauty” of Nature
DESCRIPTION:A talk by Matthew Farrelly\, PhD Candidate\, History & Education\, University of Wisconsin – Madison supported by Friends of John Muir’s Birthplace. \nThursday 4th June\, 7pm at Dunbar Town House Museum & Gallery. \nFree\, booking required. Please email trust@jmbt.org.uk or call 01368 865899 to book a place. \n“For this talk\, I’ll sketch a picture of John Muir’s life mission: to impart something of his own visionary perception of the world for the personal transformation of others\, to awaken them to the wonders and worth of other-than-human nature. Muir sought to educate\, inviting children and adults to a way of perceiving and living in relationship to the natural world that was unified and coherent\, capable of holding together many ways of perceiving and interpreting the world in the integrity of what he called a “seamless beauty.” I’ll present a picture of how Muir sought to impart this holistic perception of the world\, shaped as it was by his experiences-in-place – not least\, Dunbar and a synthetic philosophy that combined scientific\, religious\, and poetic ways of knowing and being in the world. Muir cut against the grain then – and now – arguing\, as he did\, against reducing our vision to one paradigm or mode of perception to the exclusion of others. I’ll show how Muir offered a “living metaphor” to hold together such a coherent vision – the palimpsest – and how Muir’s vision of a “seamless beauty” is ever-timeless and most especially timely.”

SUMMARY:Flight Disruption
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition is a collection of prints of wild British birds that are impacted by climate change. Climate change is affecting our birds in many ways: warming seas impact the food chain\, rising sea levels change the geography of where birds can breed and lay eggs\, bad weather can make it hard to find food and feed young and extreme temperatures can make survival difficult. Numbers of British birds are predicted to fall drastically over the coming years. The exhibition features original\, hand-pulled\, linocut prints of birds seen along the coast of East Lothian. Many of the birds featured are impacted in some way by climate change and are either on the red or amber list of the BTO Birds of Conservation Concern in the UK. \nWork by Caroline Convey\, a Scottish wildlife artist working in lino to make reduction prints.

SUMMARY:Hope\, Healing & Creativity in Wild Times
DESCRIPTION:A free talk with discussion for anyone feeling overwhelmed. \nStella Robertson shares the creative process behind her work (DUIR\, oak:door) on loss as a portal to transformation. This interactive talk (with Q&A) explores the importance of creativity and imagination in difficult times\, both personal and environmental. Stella will be discussing why slowing down enough to listen to the land can be a radical act of healing and a slow burning activism\, and how both can help build the capacity to help us through these wild times. \nThis session includes some short grounding exercises (visualisation and breathing). \nBook on Eventbrite or message Stella via Instagram. \nFAQs can also be found on Eventbrite.

DESCRIPTION:Free drop in eco-printing talk as part of the ‘DUIR’ exhibition. \n \n“My work includes eco printed cloth\, dyed with local leaves from the woods using oak gall mordants\, natural fibres\, prints using local woodland foraged materials and cloth sewn\, dyed and worked on with plant fibre. Within a woodland we can access free materials to use in art forms\, we can learn from working in that space of inspiration and use materials consciously to give a voice through our art.”

SUMMARY:Duir: oak : door
DESCRIPTION:Duir\noak : door \nThis exhibition explores and celebrates the remaining woodlands found in East Lothian with their pockets of old oak trees. As artists we are working to highlight our dependence and necessary engagement with our environment and woodland through foraging\, creating\, learning and being amongst woodland for mindfulness and creative work. \nThe title of our exhibition is Duir which is an old Celtic word for oak and where the word for door derives. Oak supports more wildlife than any other tree species. This highlights the biodiversity value associated with them. They are also long-lived making them significant carbon stores. Woodlands are an essential part of our community and our exhibition highlights the necessity of preservation and regeneration. \nThe three artists contributing to this are Karin Chipulina\, Stella Robertson and Anna Davis. \nKarin Chipulina’s work includes eco printed cloth\, dyed with local leaves from the woods using oak gall mordants\, natural fibres\, prints using local woodland\, foraged materials and cloth sewn\, dyed and worked on with plant fibre. ‘Within a woodland we can access free materials to use in different art forms. We can learn from working in that space of inspiration and use materials consciously to give a voice through our art’. \nStella Robertson’s photographs document the final stage of a performance/ritual called ‘Land Listenings’ where she works through grief with and for the land. The stones represent the loss and are carried on a ‘pilgrimage to uncertainty’ led by movement and sound of trees\, animals\, light and her own intuitions. This process transforms the tight grip of suffering into a more open\, light and alive state. Facilitating the letting go of loss through placing it to rest in the generous arms of trees. Letting go of suffering is a radically creative action that allows us to see other possibilities. \nFor this exhibition Anna Davis’s work incorporates the use of traditional oak gall ink for drawing and sketching\, in which she responds to some of the remaining oak woods in East Lothian. She is looking at our necessary engagement and appreciation of ancient woodland and touches on the old stories and wildlife that are connected to our woods. She brings poems\, drawing and observations together into book form\, and the process is in itself a waybook referencing the ideas of geopoetics. \nA quote by John Muir: ‘Between every two pine trees there is a door\, leading to a new way of life.’ \n
