We’re gathering to make a sacred space for movement and connection inside the Natural History Museum in London @nhm-london.bsky.social. Come join us on Monday night for Dance Mirrors Nature—a gentle dive into how folk and classical traditions mirror our relationship with the living world.

To have your hands in the soil and your eyes on the canopy—all the while making friendships that might last a lifetime. I’ve just been in Ghana and India collecting data for my PhD on nutrient flows in tropical forests and savannas.

Busy cooking with my artist collaborators—thinking about art-science-society connections in the Himalayas, the Western Ghats of India, Ghana, and South Africa.

My Sattriya (a classical dance from Assam) dance teacher & I organised an event for the Biodiversity cluster at Oxford University titled 'Dance Mirrors Nature'. Here's a glimpse of what it was like👇https://www.eci.ox.ac.uk/news/indian-dance-workshop-explores-link-between-biodiversity-and-movement

I'm joining an environmental artist & activist at Generation Hope, a festival at the Natural History Museum in London to discuss how we can begin to reimagine our relationship with nature through trans-disciplinary practice. www.nhm.ac.uk/events/reima...

Sharing a story by my friend Arjun Kamdar on the life and death of an elephant, Ramu/Laden, who now lives in the memories of countless people who lived in and worked at the foothills of the Himalayas in Assam. www.projectcroak.com/post/the-lif...

Thinking of how to design DPhil chapters that are relevant to current discussions in the field but is also useful & important for vulnerable communities/landscapes. And yearning to use truly transdisciplinary art & science methods from the conception to the rolling out of this research in the world.

Sampling in stunning riverine grasslands in upper Assam. Who knew savanna field work would involve traveling by boat and watching Gangetic river dolphins on the way to our field sites.

Very excited to reflect and share on our lovely collaborative field expedition in Angola earlier this year. Come, take a walk down a catena in the miombo woodlands with us. 👇

In Kerala amongst the circling Brahminy kites, the diving chestnut headed bee-eaters, the very still heron, the low flying cormorants, & the egret. The Manjaly river is sweet to taste. Is lined by mangroves. Fish farms. Wooden boats.
