About Nature Speaking

From the publisher's feed

This podcast is a collaborative project as part of an online course by the same name being offered through the Emily Carr University of Art + Design in summer 2020. As a class, we're producing this podcast series showcasing hopeful stories of nature's rapid response during lockdown, while exploring the interconnectedness of our soundscapes and each other. This unique and timely collection of audio documentaries will paint a collaborative sonic portrait of this historic moment through participatory approaches, and help us to gain insights towards a more ecologically 'sound' future. If we listen carefully, what is nature telling us?
