Spectrum of Frameworks: Addressing Landscape
Guy Ritani
This newly commissioned audio piece by artist, first nations activist, educator and systems designer, Guy Ritani, explores a spectrum of frameworks that lead us towards different understandings of the environment, including: organics, permaculture, and biodynamic frameworks alongside Indigenous frameworks such as Hua Parakore ( a Maori organics framework) that outline how we might approach a shared language of country, whenua, landscape, and ecology in a form that is accessible for all. Everyone’s individual values sit on a continuum and these values have overlapping languages, understandings, and intentions to other people, cultures, and communities around them. Through understanding the bridges and how these overlapping values function we can navigate a spectrum of cultural frameworks that allow us to better comprehend and develop a more equitable relationship to the landscapes and ecosystems that sustain us.
