Astrid Felicia Ardagh: Longing to Belong

‘Longing to belong- A generation in search of its roots’ is an explorative investigation into our collective wild inheritance. With inspiration from writers such as Silvia Federici, Robin Wall Kimmerer, and David Abram, Ardagh ponders over what impact our lost connection to wild nature is having on our sense of identity and mental health. Is our urge to uncover the secrets of our ancestry somehow connected to the land grab in the 13th century or the birth of Cartesian dualism? And have our minds and bodies managed to evolve fast enough to keep us in sync with the turbulent terrain of the 21st century?
