On my way to FfS’s Dyfi home. A stop at Rhug for an overpriced snack. There are pictures of Charles and Camilla in 2013 suspiciously receiving a bouquet. Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall. Quite a statement of colonial domination that - Cymru and Kernow, handled by the next Anglo in line.

1/* There are unresolved tensions we identify in Creative Commons. FfS holds as an ideal that all rushes would end up in an open access commons which filmmakers could browse and braid into new films.

In 2014 my family and I planted a host of trees in Heartwood forest, north of St Albans, to mark what would have been my elder brother Edward’s 40th birthday. Two of the trees were from the survivor English elms, Castle Acre and Pottersbury, ancestrial homes of each side of the family. They live.
Leaves emerging from the uppermost buds of an English elm, silhouetted against the sky and against the scrubby fringes of Heartswood, a new forest generated from arable farmland in Hertfordshire. The elm is still young, planted in 2014 as a sapling. Greyscale.

FfS asked Advocate Swarti Srivastava about the relationship between the East India Company and enclosure of the commons in the UK, and the subsequent advance of monoculture agriculture.

FfS was at the first session of the 3rd CICC [Court for Intergenerational Climate Crimes]. Case 1: The East India Company and the British Crown: Partners in Crimes Against Ecologies and Communities. www.serpentinegalleries.org/whats-on/cou...
The Court room of the CICC at AmbikaP3, London. The court is located on a yellow wedge, modelled on El Lissitzky’s 1919 red wedge. There are human jurists around the two long sides of the wedge. An indigo plant comrade sits in attendance in a circle cut in the centre of the wedge, with large lightbox images of other subcontinental plant comrades exploited by the defendants. A video screen is placed behind the judge and other court officials to show evidence. Presiding judge Radha D’Souza is explaining how the court will proceed.
