Earth Day Celebration
April 26, 2022
Last week on the 22nd of April we celebrated EARTH DAY. With the help of the lovely Jade at Sprightly Seed who donated and helped us plant lemon, apple and peach trees in our vegetable food garden in the township.
This day is a little reminder to help us change our habits. Let’s together INVEST IN OUR PLANET, because a green future is a prosperous future. This is a good time to plant a tree, start recycling, learn composting or just simply go for a walk in nature. We need grounding as much as we need the air and the sun. Stop and smell the roses :)
This week we also came across this amazing Exhibition by Precious Okoyomon, an installation view of To See The Earth Before the End of the World, 2022, at the 59th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia, “The Milk of Dreams,” 2022. The installation uses a variety of organic materials—including butterflies, invasive plant species, raw wool, dirt, and blood—to create and animate life-size sculptures of unknown beings. Deliberately abstract in their representation, these dirt- and blood-encrusted molded forms could be deities, ancestors, or even more ambitious, our future selves. The ambiguity as to what they are allows audiences to become storytellers alongside the work and the artist. I’m including some pics here.
