Fascinating to hear from Jonny Turnbull 🇺🇦 this morning, talking about his research into urban rewilding initiatives - particularly beaver reintroduction sites in London

Today marks 38 years since the #Chornobyl nuclear catastrophe

Taking time to think about those who have given their time to me since I started my research in the Zone in 2019

And those who resisted the r*ssian occupation of the Zone in 2022

One of my 1st days in the Zone:

'Radiation has no smell, no colour. It has only a voice. Here it is.' (From Chornobyl: Chronicle of Trying Weeks, 1986)

Mr. Snyder wrote two books on nazism. That’s two more books than all the books MTG ever read.

She even whipped out the good old “proof card”. Low effort.

I’m thrilled to see the Nesting Ferality article published!🦜 Read about our performative installation via the link:
