Ecofeminist Thought & Rewilding

Sustainable Places Co-Director Professor Susan Baker contributes to the latest Spotify Shed Session podcast as part of their Re-wilding series.

In the last episode of the Rewilding Series podcasts, Ecofeminist Thought & Rewilding, Anna Souter co-curator of Rewind/Rewild exhibition explores this exciting new way of thinking about the natural world and shares a talk by Professor Susan Baker. Given at the Rewilding Forum during the summer of 2019,  she examines the rewilding movement through a feminist lens touching on issues of control, oppression, expectations and dualism in our relationship with nature and the environment. Is rewilding, as we know it, the right route to take?

Discussing the issue of rewilding, Professor Baker said, “Rewilding is messy. Wild places are places of life, and of death. Places of growth and decay, of scavenging, of predation, of prey. They're not just pretty places. They're places which display the gore and guts of nature, but also her beauty"

This latest podcast will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about rewilding and how our ecological future might look.

Recorded in the great sheds of the world, Shed Sessions skips between food, art and the environment. Hosted by Tom Broadhead, the podcast is supported by OmVed Gardens, a garden and food space in North London.
