permapoesis: Greenwash #3 in Trouble

Permapoesis

Permapoesis is the portmanteau for permanent making. A term I've developed, incorporating permaculture principles, shared Aboriginal knowledges and our own neopeasant lifeways to help reclaim sensible thought and remodel ecological economies of material accountability.

My most recent book, re:)Fermenting culture can now be listened to as a non-monetised audio book. Just click the pop out below. Gifts in exchange for this labour are most welcome, and in some form will be passed on in what I call a flow of gifts economy.

My name is Patrick Jones. I live and labour on Djaara peoples' country. Dja Dja Wurrung is the first language of this land. I acknowledge the six Djaara seasons and pay homage to the regenerative economies upon which Djaara living culture sits. The spirit and logic of which my household draws upon in our everyday productions and lifeways while simultaneously drawing upon our own indigenous peoples through story and the ancestral plants, animals, microbes, mushrooms and uncapitalised medicines that have also emplaced on this country. We recognise the system of racism that terra nullius continues to instil in the dominant culture, and recognise that as people of many diverse white cultures we still hold cultural blinders that our historical trauma sits within and (now) our privilege stands upon.

Here are some of my books. The bottom two can be purchased from me direct, however if you're moving to a non-monetary economy I'll post you one in exchange for a gift of your making. Please feel free to suggest an exchange by emailing me (click above 'Contact me' tab).

Waste. No other single word defines our civilisation better. Ninety years of crude oil extraction, refinement and burning has turned the planet and its atmosphere into a monumental toxicological dump. But the rapid exploitation of oil deposits is only one corollary of our anti-ecological state, our mindset for waste has been gradually developing over 6,000 years.

Ash Keating's work is great! Thanks for showing me an artist that understands and highlights the waste in the high culture fine art world - wish there were more artists like him,
