An Elemental Life with Gavin Van Horn & John Hausdoerffer

Join us via Zoom on Wednesday, April 22nd, at 7 pm EDT

Over the last year, the Kinship Photography Collective invited photographers from around the globe to explore their relationship with elemental air, water, fire, and earth. Inspired by the Elementals book series from the Center for Humans & Nature, Kinship explored the elements through personal and collaborative projects. On Earth Day, you are invited to join Gavin Van Horn, co-editor of the Elementals book series, and John Hausdoerffer, the editor of volume five, An Elemental Life, for our final Elementals gathering. At this confluence of air, fire, water, and earth, we will bring the elements into conversation with one another by asking the practice-oriented question, What is an elemental life?

Together we will ponder: If the elements are kin to one another, what does it mean to live in kinship with the elements? If kinship is replacing individuality as our frame for living a good life, then how are the elements—the interconnected ingredients of our interstellar sphere of kin—telling us how to live? What practices or rituals can help us keep the elementals alive in our creative lives?

Join us as we celebrate this rich and inspiring collaboration.
