HOW TO FALL

Photos by RAFFAELLA © 2022

Over several months/numerous sessions, I fell continuously in the Oregon desert, breaking my skin, learning new shapes, recovering old paths, and creating a conversation between my ancient ancestors and the ancient guides of Paiute country, my hosts. We spoke of what it means to weave lineages healthfully at sites of place (body-as-place, land-as-place), respecting variegation, sites of differentiated and overlapping needs, elementals, limbic and unknown voices (ghosts), animals, pre-colonial and colonial imprints of violence and peace, and watershed. This work is an intervention that cannot be undertaken alone.

HOW TO FALL: a guide for climate crisis, a meditation on the invention of the ancient-future, and lessons from the legacy of Hebrew nomadism as an act of surrender/

zine and course / coming soon.
