Spotted two majestic Kudus in Camden this Saturday, part of @The__Herds stampede. Incredible to see these creatures come to life & transform the street into a space of powerful storytelling. priviledged to meet them & wishing them a safe journey north. #theherds #climateaction

Check out @susanpoet ’s powerful poem sequence ‘The Sack and the Selki’e — a moving exploration of how plastic pollution is affecting seals. Huge thanks again to Susan for writing this amazing piece for the ‘Rethinking Fables’ project. 😊🦭youtu.be/vQ1wfvlUcWU
