S1 Ep1: Changing Currents: Episode 1 Contested Landscapes

In this episode we consider land access healing and organising. 

Changing Currents is a new podcast series exploring climate perspectives and possible futures featuring the voices of artists, growers, activists, local community groups, heritage workers and researchers across South Yorkshire. 

The voices you’ll hear are from founder of Peaks of Colour, Evie Muir, artist Harun Morrison, scientist and campaigner Jasmine Roha Wakefield and founder of Sheffield Environmental Movement Maxwell Ayamba. This conversation was guided by Harun Morrison’s Environmental Justice Questions, a card game to stimulate conversation developed through contributions by a range of activists, writers, artworkers, theorists, architects, chefs, natural historians and horticulturalists.

This recording took place at the Longshaw Estate in the Peak District.
