Never Land / Sever Land


October 20, 2024 - November 17, 2024

Never Land/Sever Land is a live audio series between Kimberly Ann Johnson and Stephen Jenkinson engaging his new work NeverLand: Agriculture, Culture and the Striving for Belonging.

These are unscripted, realtime encounters with work that is still sprouting from seed.

There is ritual to be had and found in joining hundreds around the world for these in-depth conversations.

Note: Please keep in mind Sunday November 3rd is Daylight Savings. 

“We are children of strange times…
Our birthmarks are both troubled and troubling. We do not, most of us, belong. We inhabit, we own, instead. Being in the world but not of it: that was once a foundation of Western spirituality. It will end up being a stain by which we will be held in disrepute. 
What I’m not doing with these stories is holding up undifferentiated ‘native culture’ as the specimen of cultural aplomb. There is no such thing, so far as I can tell, as ‘native culture’, no more than there’s such a thing as ‘African culture’ or ‘white culture’.
These terms are simply too broad to contain the complexity of the people and their histories. In spite of hundreds of years of coordinated and happenstance ethnocide, there are native cultures, though. Not as many as there once were, almost certainly, but here in their scores nonetheless.”
-Stephen Jenkinson

 

During this series we will refer to two works from Booker Prize award winning author John Berger’s trilogy- Pig Earth and Once in Europa. We recommend you read those book if you join the series.
