Abstract
Australia is one colonised country in the Global South trying to live differently with our ‘morbid symptoms’. The global South’s education framework has a neoliberal coating that hopefully can be perforated – even if slightly – with intentional and unintentional shifts in how we do education that allows oxygen into scholarship with some different scholarly processes. The health of the planet, where we are inextricably linked to planetary health, calls for care within and between academic bodies – (non)human bodies, water bodies and bodies of knowledge. I have examined some old blogposts playfully to understand creative blogging as one hopeful way toward an educational sustenance. This submission proposes to listens like a record to select blog posts created with while being together with/in place as an environmental arts educator querying the
alternative knowledge attained between artists and waterways in artmaking processes. The focus is a sustainability beyond lack into pleasure and excess: What could the sustaining nature of education be? These posts are influenced by women as artists and children as artists with art and water as muse. The blog posts will be heard through the voices of feminist black scholars and First Nations informed expertise in the post qualitative, new material turn. By re-experiencing and expressing the sustaining nature of education, both, to date there are some practical possibilities for an everyday, mothering, emerging academic to do education everyday and professionally differently. Entangled with the unceded lands and waters of Australia’s First Nation people’s – the Boonwurrung / Bunurong – a moment of everyday, educator emergence asks – an
education that plays out one creative, embodied, oxygenated breath at a time – how would you do that?
