Ecologies of Belonging (a Meditation in Progress)
What does it mean to belong to our coasts, our oceans, marine kin and other living beings? Multidisciplinary artist Rebekah Ubuntu tunes into belonging for solace and hope, at a time of increased climate anxiety and immense change across our global coastlines. Her work meditates on marine and matrilineal ecologies, reciprocity, interdependence, remembering and healing. ‘Ecologies of Belonging (a Meditation in Progress)’ follows on from Rebekah’s long term project ‘Despair, Hope and Healing: Three Movements for Climate Justice’, an audiovisual piece dedicated to the unique, fragile and imperilled equilibrium of our planet’s ecosystem and a tribute to global BIPOC (Black/Indigenous/People of Colour) communities fighting for climate justice.
