We spoke with the folks from Nonhuman Teachers, a nonprofit that takes a new approach to ecological storytelling, for this week’s episode of The Lo-Down Culture Cast.
Executive Director Christian Cummings, Events Coordinator Joey Valley and Board Director Sandeep Rangi spoke with host Traven Rice at the P&T Knitwear Bookstore and Podcast Studio about the newly formed project that aims to help deepen the relationship between humans and the natural world.
The non-profit sprang out of their creative studio and Cactus Store based in LA. They opened an east coast Cactus Store here in the Lower East Side, which includes a seasonal greenhouse and gathering space at 5 Essex, next to the old Schames Paint Store, a few years ago.
HORT/CULTURE, their events series, is always surprising and experiential. Their programming engages a wide array of people by offering creative ways to talk about ecology.
