Marais de Bonnefont Marsh Nature Reserve

free and public
Offering perspective on breathing, intention, and presence, glo actively challenges us to slowly navigate through an entire space, and together, think about what nature can teach the world about gender, intimacy, equity, prayer, and collective power.
i came to explore the sun, of something more permanent, the moves are maps is an ongoing site-based research piece by glo founder Lauri Stallings. This iterative project’s first cycle consisted of a film documentary of a live art intervention commissioned by Meridian Herald for the Proctor Creek Watershed, a historically neglected region of Atlanta. Excerpts of the film were shown at the ACLU of Georgia Gala.
For this iteration, poet, weaver, and moving artist Vinisha Browne, and moving artist and LAB lead Mary Jane Pennington will map nature reserves through aural and choreographic repair movements, generated on site in glo’s Corner Studio, of its own kind, in need of repair, in a reclaimed 19th-century factory space.
The Bonnefont Marsh Nature Reserve is located on the territory of France’s Causses du Quercy Regional Nature Park. The 42-hectare site includes the largest reed bed in Bordeaux as well as flooded areas, dry lawns or juniper moors that stretch out on the hillsides above the marsh.The nature reserve, on which more than 247 species of plants have been identified, contains one of the rare fern stations in the marshes as well as the Mercury agrion and the succise checkerboard. A 1.8 km loop trail built on stilts and dotted with fun and educational panels allows you to explore the site. A 950 m trail accessible to people with reduced mobility (all disabilities) was built in 2014 in addition to the existing interpretation trail.
The two-day Bonnefont installation is supported by a cross-generational group residency in the rural community of Sousmoulins, population 222, that brings together contemporary women artists from Georgia, and Bordeaux, and aims to address the collective necessity to redefine women’s roles as part of a whole, and to find new ways of living in the world by rethinking boundaries, and examining hybridity in all forms. glo is home in the journey, to weave a strong link between rural, nature sites as intentional spaces for global biodiversity that comes together through live art happenings of intention, and repair, full of beautiful strangers who share their narratives without being formalized.
This project is made possible by an Oakspace Residency, with the generous support of Chinese-American artist and cultural leader Patricia Chen. This project is made possible by Marais de Bonnefont et des Bordelais, and Festival Zou.

Manifest your world:
Practice Tools for Tender Action
Calling Georgia students and people Movers interested in creatively engaging with movement and sounds and their potential to shape the new world! This summer, glo will summon (or convene) our LAB studies in person and virtually for 2 weeks from July 6-17 for students and people across Georgia. LAB studies is our platform’s longest running program, until the pandemic paused it.
LAB studies program consists of two initiatives in equal parts:
Pedagogy of Hope students will work in person and virtually alongside glo Founder, PLAY Lead, moving artists, artist-educators, and interdisciplinary collaborators, engaging in hands-on processes that focus on the intersection of social services, movement, and care. This year’s Movement-Music Curriculum responds to several frameworks for culturally sustaining pedagogy, including respecting youth as holistic human beings as well as developing critical consciousness and addressing intersectionality, dynamics of power, and solidarity with artists. We will be bending into POH a number of exciting new choreography tools, and will encourage youth-led collaborative sessions and youth-organized discussions for young artists to practice. Not only is Pedagogy of Hope entirely free for selected students, all meals and supplies will be provided over the two week program.
People Movement SHOPS are for folk who love to move, and folk who wish to love to move. SHOPS are open to any person no matter their age, gender, size, or athletic or performance experience. Prompts include physical and poetic assignments that you can engage at your own pace. There is also space to share insights and celebrate the insights of other folk on the journey.
Along with building a daily dance and music vocabulary, all LAB participants will be immersed in aspects of glo’s MAPPING practice, for the creation and distribution of original Pocket Maps of Hope.

2021-07-06 - 2021-07-17 | Atlanta Symphony Hall, 1280 Peachtree St NE, Atlanta, GA, 30309, United States
We are delighted to return to our LAB following a pause in 2020.
Thinking critically means thinking which perceives reality as process, as transformation–thinking which does not separate itself from action. . .the important thing is the continuing transformation of reality.
— Paulo Freire
LAB Studies: Pedagogy of Hope
Summer session: July 5-17, 2021
Winter session: Jan 3-15, 2022

glo invites you into Pedagogy of Hope, our LAB studies education program that directly invests in teaching and learning movement and music to Georgia Indigenous, Black, Brown, and marginalized young artists. Movement-music curricular tools of glo’s LAB studies respond to several frameworks for culturally sustaining pedagogy, including respecting youth as holistic human beings as well as developing critical consciousness and addressing intersectionality, dynamics of power, privilege, oppression, and solidarity with artists. Along with a daily dance and music vocabulary, participants will be immersed in aspects of glo’s mapping practice, for the creation and distribution of original Pocket Maps of Hope.
