| dc.description.abstract | Interface the Land is a research project that examines the Transcontinental Performance Series, a performance art project that seeks to form relationships with the land through art. Performance art in this context presents actual events as art, and provides a conceptual framework that facilitates experiences with the land, intentional acts of spiritual transformation, creative actions and learning. Through this work, I promote responsible relationships with the land and Indigenous peoples, practicing respectful consultation and reciprocal relationship-building. Using gestures including pilgrimage, amplified water-listening and floating, I contribute to the discourse on nature and art. I question the role of documentation, audience and institution, through experiential and transformative learning. At a time when the Earth is in an ecological crisis, we must establish a worldview that is connected to the land. | en_US |
