#climaterefugees #assistedmigration When the climate changes, so do the living conditions for living species. People and animals can, to a certain extent, migrate on their own, but are plants able to migrate at a fast enough speed, and could assisted migration or augmented ecology play a role? Artist Theun Karelse did an experiment in ‘assisted-migration’ at Nida Art Colony by introducing a sample of three lichen species from Portugal to Lithuania as official climate refugees, in association with Neringa Forestry Department. Theun writes in his Fieldguide to Next Doggerland: ‘For some species, keeping up with the northward shift of habitats may be challenging. A bird can migrate quite easily, but mosses for instance might be far too slow. Assisted migration is a controversial ecological technique that proposes to help the slower species reach northern grounds by manually taking them there. During the Techno Ecologies residency in Nida Art Colony I brought a lichen sample collected during a previous project in Spain to present it officially at the National Park as a climate refugee. The small lichen sample, containing three separate species, served as a starter for this complex discussion. The request for asylum was officially accepted by the head of the forestry department, who assumed the little guys would die immediately in winter. After an extensive visual survey of the Curonian Spit lichen populations, I found a wonderful spot close to the Art Colony where all three species on my little branch had Lithuanian cousins. Remarkably, this is at the site of a prehistoric settlement. The specimen thereby joined a rich local history of climate travellers. During the Techno Ecologies symposium in spring the next year I immediately went to pay my Spanish friends a visit, and you know what? They survived the winter!' www.theunkarelse.net

It has failed to acknowledge that the cultural sector is the one that drives civic trust and social self-confidence. It is the culture that we have that gives us our shared identity."

Carl Theodor Sørensen (1893-1979), was a Danish landscape architect, and the first professor of the department of Garden Art at The art Academy in Copenhagen. He was very sceptical about the idea of the Romantic Garden - according to him it inserts “mythical content” in between the concrete shapes and the experience of the garden user, who might end being so preoccupied by trying to decode the many meanings and atmospheres that one “looses oneself” in the process. For this reason he only used a limited variety of plants so as to not “distract” the garden user with pompous flower arrangements. “This is not nature, he said about his gardens, but a creative, culture-driven act”. The Musical Garden, Herning, Denmark, started 1945 completed 1956. B/w photos by Christina Capetillo. Naerum Allotment Gardens, 1952. Private garden of his daughter Sonja Poll, Copenhagen.
