The themes for #13 are rebirth, roots and rights.

THE WIDENING CIRCLE
Children of the Anthropocene considers how we need to focus on creating a loving society and shifting our attitudes on care; Whale Whispering features an interview with Michaela Harrison on the transformational power of music with our more than human kin / non-human kin; Re-Indigenising the Land reveals how the Indigenous Manobo youth of Bukidnon, Philippines, are preserving their land and culture; and I Live in Dandora Phase 4 shows how growing up in a Nairobi slum influenced Kevin Ochieng’s photography (cover photograph).

ROOTED IN THE INFINITE

Radical Roots explores – through interviews with Claire Ratinon, Isaias Hernandez, Sophie Strand and Farmer Rishi – how we might find radical kinship by rerooting and rewilding through myth-telling; Koji is Community features a conversation between chef Jo March and fermentation explorer Pao-Yu Liu on culture, community and not being scared of difference; and in Common Ground, Vicky Chown reveals how root and tuber crops are a vital food source around the world, alongside a creative photographic project from Will Hearle and Kasia Borowiecka.

THAT WE BELONG
Artists Gregory and Koffman explore the human relationship with nature through time in Nature Rights; The Forest is Life considers how the principles of Earth Jurisprudence are being used to revive Benin’s sacred groves; Black women and women of colour share new perspectives on nature through artist Bryony Benge-Abbott’s film The Colour of Transformation; and in Rights and Responsibilities, an extract from Sacred Instructions, Sherri Mitchell proposes how we can take back our power and build a rights-based society that is balanced, just and harmonious.
