Dougald Hine: Dark Mountain

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

“The end of the world as we know it is not the end of the world full stop,” says Dougald Hine, speaking from Sweden via Skype.  Dougald, named by The Guardian as one of Britain’s fifty new radicals,  is best known for Dark Mountain, an emerging cultural movement he co-founded with Paul Kingsnorth five years ago.  Dark Mountain looks squarely at the profound disruption we are all experiencing and offers a creative space, somewhere between apocalypse and false hope, in which people can engage in a conversation about a future life worth living, freed from wishful thinking that the world will once again be as it was.

About Leafages

"Credo" statement

Leafages by Hazel Kahan are made from real leaves, vines and tendrils interwoven with calligraphy, decorative pen and ink flourishes and imaginary Latin botanical names. Leafages contain a philosophical or inspirational thought, quotation or verse from sages, poets or religious texts. Some leafages are specially created for an individual, a couple or a family with words or leaves reflecting their personal narrative. They are available on the Leafages shop on Etsy although the supply is low right now, all my energies having been absorbed by the book I’ve been writing. Do come back soon when the shop will be full of new leafage abundance or contact me.
