Fascinating study by @findingnature.bsky.social argues that lack of nature connectedness is “a key root of the environmental crisis” and finds around 60% decline in use of “nature words” in books between 1800 and 2020 #slowmemory

A pool turned crater.
A house buried.
A landscape where the ordinary became geology.
For weeks, the volcano made the rules, and everything stood still.
Only the water endured, trapping the reflection of a world that no longer exists.

A massive thank you to Alice Semedo & Isabel Machado Alexandre & their whole team, who put on such a wonderful and reflective conference for the #SlowMemory COST Action!!

I'm very eagerly anticipating the start of our fourth and final @slowmemo.bsky.social COST Action conference at the University of Porto tomorrow. Judging by the prep done by the stellar team led by Prof Alice Semedo, it is going to be absolutely fantastic. #slowmemory

Further, Tamara Šmidling discusses Belgrade's ‘memory walks,’ while William Blair shares how museums handle long-term memory. Activism, curation and oral history reveal that reconciliation is slow, layered and often unpredictable. #slowmemory #peacebuilding

What a fantastic first day of our #SlowMemory workshop with the House of European History! We are creating an “activity book” of sorts with which visitors can explore the “Presence of the Past” temporary exhibit through a slow lens.

When national governments all seem to be moving backwards on climate policy, it is essential that #memoryactivists and local communities take the lead. #slowmemory

So impressed by the Futurium Berlin - a museum that tackles complex future challenges playfully but with nuance. And important: without leaving you hopeless. #slowmemory #slowhope

How many monuments do you know that celebrate basic infrastructure? #slowmemory
