Earlier this year I walked along the flooded River Tone near Taunton, Somerset, with artist Fiona MacDonald, working with more than human communities as Feral Practice.
Fiona invited me to talk about Queer River, and explore more generally how Queer and Neurodivergent perspectives might shape our understanding of rivers.
In a similar way to Queer River, the Tonal project has seen Feral Practice bring together conversations with a diverse group of people, who have different experiences of and perspectives on rivers in general, through walking with the River Tone.
‘Tonal, by artist Feral Practice, is an audio project exploring water issues nationally with a special focus on the River Tone in Somerset. Each podcast episode is a riverside conversation with someone who has a specific personal or professional relationship to water and the river, building a broad base of knowledge from many distinctive perspectives.’
Our conversation, and others recorded in connection with the River Tone, have now been launched as the Tonal Podcast, have a listen here: https://tonal-uk.com
