Presentation & Workshop in Transnatural.nl
Christina Stadlbaeur (AT/BE) presents a lecture and leads a workshop on the 12th March, as the ‘Herbologies/Foraging Networks’ contribution to Transnatural Symposium, to be held in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
The presentation is titled ‘Human and Apian Foraging Network’, an exploration on behaviour and strategies of bees and men driven by the quest for urban edibles, and her workshop is called ‘Bee-o-Logical Housing’: a hands-on workshop for *out of the box* bee-hive-design.
Both events take place on the same day, the lecture as part of the morning programme (09.30-13.00), and the workshop in the afternoon (13.30-18.00).
