Where the Leaves Fall #7

The seventh issue’s themes are perception, equity, and revolution. We feature artist Tamara Dean’s photography, which presents human beings immersed in ecosystems as mammals threatened by environmental degradation just like any other species, alongside the winners of the Good Food For All Photography Competition, interviews with Brazilian Indigenous leader Sônia Guajajara and South African cultural practitioner, food activist and artist, Zayaan Khan, and a look at how the Kichwa people of Sarayaku, in the Ecuadorian Amazon rainforest, have embraced technology and social media to communicate their philosophy. We also explore the link between language and our relationship with the natural world, how granting rights to nature may not always benefit the environment, and how the natural world could help the healing process following Canada’s shameful treatment of its Indigenous peoples.
