Almut Strehlow Mother and grandmother, for 44 years I have been dealing with educational issues and trying to understand how culture and nature can resonate in such a way that everyone can find the balance of health, that the human being can become who he or she could become! I am an educator, in agriculture, in art – and for 29 years a lecturer in Waldorf education, an author and a political dissenter. Almuth’s book The Seven Life Processes is in German, English and soon in Chinese. 

Shelley Sacks is a social sculpture practitioner and cultural activist exploring the relationship between freedom, responsibility as an ability-to-respond, and the role of imagination in transformation. Concerns with ‘aesthetic strategies in times of change’ inspired by Beuys’ social sculpture proposals, run through her work in South Africa [1976-1990], in the Social Sculpture Research Unit, Oxford [1997-2019], and in her own ‘connective practice’ projects in many countries and contexts.
