Our Story Weaver, Kaska, talks to Everyday Changemaker Simone Stewart at the Barn’s “Plenty?” Festival in Banchory last October. They discuss degrowth and snails, storm Frank’s influence on the Barn’s creative direction, and the value of improvisation and community in an emergency. One year on, they also reflect on the impact of last year’s flooding which interrupted the festival. This is the first in a short series focusing on flooding and adaptation stories this month. CreditsRecording, interview and sound production: Kaska Hempel ResourcesStorm Babet Stories from Angus https://sccan.scot/blog/storm-babet-a-watershed-moment-for-angus/ The Barn https://www.thebarnarts.co.uk/ Newton Harrison’s The Deep Wealth of This Nation, Scotland https://www.thebarnarts.co.uk/artist/newton-harrisonBecoming Earthly at the Barn https://www.thebarnarts.co.uk/article/becoming-earthly-at-the-barn Far Orchard Network at the Barn https://www.thebarnarts.co.uk/article/the-far-orchard Manfred Max-Neef’s fundamental human needs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manfred_Max-Neef%27s_Fundamental_human_needs What is degrowth?
