Otsitsaken:ra Charles Patton: Deep time walk discussion (discussion)
Join Concordia Professors Matthias Fritsch, Ursula Eicker, Liz Miller, and Damon Matthews and visual artist / film director / videographer Chélanie Beaudin-Quintin in this 5-km reflective Deep Time Walk through the history of the Earth, and then meet us back at 4th Space in person or online as we debrief with Otsitsaken:ra Charles Patton, Kanien'kehá:ka Elder from Kahnawà:ke.
A Deep Time Walk is a journey through 4.6 billion years of Earth history and was co-created by Dr. Stephan Harding (Research Fellow and Senior Lecturer in Holistic Science at Schumacher College). The walk provides an experience that invites participants to view the world differently, encouraging positive action and collective advocacy for a regenerative Earth. The aim of the walk is to build connections and put into context humanity’s rich ancestral heritage and give insight into the interconnectedness of all life.
Find out more about the project.
To participate in the walk, meet us at the Monument Sir George-Étienne Cartier on Park Avenue. To participate in the post-walk discussion, join us at 1:30 in 4th Space.
