The Listening Tide with Irene Kopelman

It's when there is so much removed from our everyday surroundings and replaced with the totality of nature, that we find how much of our being is capable of listening. That listening is a possibility not limited to our ears.Artist Irene Kopelman sheds light on this with her stories and sounds from working as an artist in tropical jungles and open water. She reflects on how drawing is a kind of listening, and how this gives a certain agency to her subjects. Often doing so alongside scientists, we also hear about the similarities and differences in the approach and thinking that informs the manner(s) each practice in the field. As well as how each bring back their work to ‘our world’.
