Sophie Edwards
This interview will give you an idea of what particpants experienced in our participatory and hands-on virtual workshop with Sophie Edwards November 2024.
How do we build what Sophie Edwards calls ‘relational muscle’ and develop an ethos of collaboration and care? How can we understand the ‘100 languages and a hundred more’ to include the natural world, and explore how we might hear what various materials and natural spaces have to tell us. During our conversation we grappled with why such an ecological stance is important for children, for ourselves, and for the planet. We discussed how our many choices—from materials and tools, from strategies to contexts—can be carefully and thoughtfully curated toward embracing an ecological framework. Together we explored the voices of natural materials and shared our thoughts with each other.
