A CLOAK FOR COURAGE

The poets’ research began with three questions [whilst they were studying at the New School of the Anthropocene last year]: What is the colour, form, or shape of courage? How can we conceive of courage with the many-more-than-human? What is the future of courage in the Anthropocene? It continued in the gathering of and writing about 47 natural objects that would be placed in pockets on the inside layer, and then in their collaboration with designer Larch Aldred, who made and embroidered the Cloak with lines of poetry and symbols. Thus the Cloak for Courage became both a ritual garment for protection and resilience, and a call to action at this time of ecological and societal crisis. Do join us to hear about their exciting processes and journey.
