Episode 03: A SENSE OF DIRECTION
In the week of his 90th Birthday, I spoke to Yi Fu Tuan, a Chinese scholar and philosopher. He invented the phrase ‘humanist geography’ as a way to explore "how geography reveals the quality of awareness’. He writes about the contradictions of space and place as the necessary tension of the human experience for both freedom and security..... for movement and pause. With simple personal stories and observations, we are led us into his world.
Episode 02: THIS UN-BELONGING BELONGS TO ME
We speak with Maria Amidu, an artist, whose work explores the relationships between people and place and what is hidden, obscured or unspoken, a clarion voice of the common experience. She unmasks the ignored mutable stories of migration, unbelonging, and remembering - what it means to be anchored while simultaneously erased.
Episode 01: WHAT IS WHEREING ABOUT?
WHEREING explores ‘where we are’. Like clothing, we are ‘WHEREING’ (wear-ing) our spaces. Hosted by architect/designer/professor Nina Freedman, these are mindful conversations about BELONGING, SPACE AND DESIGN.
