‘Walking in place, out of time, and at the margins of the Anthropocene
We will walk at ‘the margins’ of the Anthropocene to explore deep geological time and find footprints of the past to expand temporal horizons and to provoke anticipatory thinking. We will also consider global sustainability challenges in a local context to root participants with an explicit sense of place while pondering metaphors such as bridges, gateways, and liminal spaces. Participants can walk in place and out of time with socio-ecological wandering and wondering to invoke the imaginary and its potentialities. The complexity and interconnectedness of the SDGs are discussed in context of local air and water quality, biodiversity, land use practices, innovation, urban renewal, sustainable enterprise, and cultural issues. This walk is approximately 2 hours in duration with frequent stops and approximately 3 km in length. Please wear comfortable shoes and dress for variable weather.’
