TransForming Environmental Communication: Combining the Practices of Filmmaking, Poetry and River Walking as a New Method of Ecological Thinking

这个实践作为研究项目将探索如何步行，电影制作和诗歌的做法可以结合起来，通过非二元思维带来新的视角环境传播。该项目的重点是地理和相互关联的生态河怀伊，雷多尔和塞文谁共享他们的来源在Plynlimon，中威尔士。我将用行走的姿态来谈判与自然的不同物理纠缠，并培育一种激进的生态纪录片形式，通过对气候危机的具体回应来挑战现有的环境传播。为了实现这一目标，我将借鉴水女性主义，酷儿生态学和transmateriality的理论，创造研究成果，也是至关重要的，旨在促进公众参与：第一，我将制作一系列的散文电影的基础上遇到河流生态;第二，我将制作一个互动地图的创意河流样本在数字领域，将通过一个专门的网站提供;最后，该项目还将举办一个电影和诗歌的公开展览。

This practice-as-research project will explore how the practices of walking, filmmaking and poetry can be combined to bring new perspectives to environmental communication through non-binary thinking. The project centres on the geography and interconnected ecologies of the River Wye, Rheidol and Severn who share their source at Plynlimon, Mid-Wales. I will use the gesture of walking to negotiate different physical entanglements with nature and to nurture a radical form of ecological documentary that challenges existing environmental communication through an embodied response to climate crisis. To achieve this, I will draw on theories of hydrofeminism, queer ecology and transmateriality, creating research outcomes that are also crucially designed to foster public engagement: first, I will produce a series of essay films based on encounters with river ecologies; second, I will produce an interactive map of creative river samples in the digital realm that will be delivered via a dedicated website; finally, the project will result in a public exhibition of film and poetry.
