Slow Journalling: Learning with Nature and Our Non-Human Kin
Woodlands Community Garden, Glasgow
Glasgow Zine Library
2023
As part of Glasgow Zine Fest (2023), Maymana Arefin invited participants to slowly wander, rest, spend time with and collectively learn from and with the plants and non-human kin who live in the Woodlands Community Garden, Glasgow. We shared knowledge about the plants that we met, their herbal properties, histories and the abundance of stories that they hold.
Creatively responding to the environment, we noted down thoughts, feelings and responses to the natural world and practised 'journalling' together: a method of recording and building our relationships with nature.
