FOREST PERSPECTIVE: whispers, wildfires, and rewilding words (Part 2)

This is FOREST PERSPECTIVE: Part 2.

In North America, it’s been a Summer of smoke, evacuations, and loss – not just for people, but for entire ecosystems. Wildfires are a natural forest cleansing process, but the type of wildfires we’re seeing in our carbon-superheated world are faster, hotter, and more pervasive than ever before. In acknowledgement of July as the hottest month ever recorded in human history, this month’s radio program invited local, national, and international sound artists to reflect on the non-human perspectives of forests.

FOREST PERSPECTIVE asks: how can we learn to think on the micro and macro scales of the forest, to prioritize the perspective of our non-human kin? Can radio be used as a tool for rewilding, building empathy and action between human listeners and the forests that surround, touch, and sustain us?
