Worm From Home
Worm from Home is a podcast project that explores urban ecosystems, their participants and contradictions, in the context of the environmental history of East London. Where does ‘the natural’ in the city end, and the ‘unnatural’ begin? How do we think about organic non-human life in wholly ‘unnatural’ landscapes, in cityscapes? Why do we find these binary frames around the artificial and the natural so lacking, yet still seem to somehow need them to think about the world?
