ARCHIVE

NSOTA is a radical experiment in alternative education, away from marketisation and arcane specialism towards co-sensing systems change through creative practice.

This is an ecological transmission of DIY ethics, non-hierarchical structures, radical networks, interconnected sensing through sound, text, voice, spoken word, human and more-than-human collaborative practice, patchwork group thinking, and radio art.

This episode is created for the March Equinox. Notice the arc of the sun across the sky each day. Notice it’s shifting northward. Responding to this change, birds and butterflies migrate back northward, too, along with the path of the sun.​ Curated and produced by Ambrose Hrebeniak, Simon McClelland Morris, and Chris de Selincourt in collaboration with NSOTA scholars, ensemble, and friends.
