SUMMARY:Performance on MEMBRA Sonification
DESCRIPTION:In Autumn 2023 at MEMBRA Creative Lab 2 conversations amongst project members took place about the possible ways how one might represent epigenetic changes in SOUND. Team members Joe He and Marco Catoni vowed to follow this up…… and met with Dr Scott Wilson\, who is a member of faculty in Birmingham in the Department of Music. In an ABSOLUTELY REMARKABLE coincidence Scott was looking for a topic to guide a composition that looked at the idea of memory. This was a perfect match so Joe shared epigenetic data with Scott\, who then transposed this into a composition. \nThe result of the collaboration will take place at a free concert given by the Ligeti Quartet at the Elgar Concert Hall on University of Birmingham campus. \n\nhttps://www.birmingham.ac.uk/schools/lcahm/departments/music/events/2024/spring-24/08mar-memory-project-ligeti-quartet.aspx \nCrossCurrents: The Memory Project – Ligeti Quartet\nThe ever-exuberant Ligeti Quartet brings to life this project exploring the kaleidoscopic idea of memory\, in collaboration with composers based in the UK and Colombia. \nThis wide-ranging programme explores themes from the history of Colombia\, through the changed cultural landscape of Kazimierz – the old Jewish district of Kraków\, to sonifications of the epigenetic memory of trees. Featuring the world premieres of works by Natalia Valencia\, Daria Kwiatkowska\, Jorge Garcia\, Santiago Lozano\, Sara Caneva\, and Scott Wilson.

SUMMARY:Future Treescapes 24
DESCRIPTION:Unlocking the Future of UK Treescapes\n11th – 13th June 2024\, Glasgow University Union & Online\nJoin us at Future Treescapes 24\, our final conference and a celebration of the ground-breaking achievements and outputs of the UK Treescapes Programme. \nBetween the government’s target to plant 30\,000 hectares of trees a year over the next 30 years and experts’ calls for a refocus on tree establishment and resilience\, it is clear there is still a lot of knowledge that needs to be unlocked. \nThis dynamic conference brings together researchers\, stakeholders\, policymakers and woodland enthusiasts to reveal what the latest research can contribute to our trees\, woodlands and forests. \nIt is your opportunity to collaborate with Treescapes’ researchers to open up current knowledge and help translate it into practice. At the conference\, attendees will be able to explore the tools and methodologies coming out of the programme\, shape the potential future of our treescapes and debate the future needs of research and policy in this space.

SUMMARY:Valuing Treescapes: a free MEMBRA conference hosted in Exeter
DESCRIPTION:MEMBRA are delighted to invite you to attend the Valuing Treescapes Conference that is hosted at the University of Exeter on July 16-18 2024.\nThis event will consider how a ‘rights of nature’ approach to existing and new treescapes could inform their protection and further development in the UK. Outputs from this event will include a co-written report on language\, ethics\, and narratives that can challenge\, and provide alternative models for\, the utilitarian\, monetised valuation of trees in the ‘ecosystem services’ framework. \nThis event will explore the additional dimensions of ‘value’ to treescapes\, and foreground the importance of language in tree description and depiction during policy recommendations on the future of treescapes. \nThis event will bring together a wide range of stakeholders who will attempt to define the value of Treescapes. These include scientists\, artists\, lawyers and classicists.  \nDOWNLOAD FINAL PROGRAM (July 16th)\nMeeting schedule:\nDAY 1: Tuesday July 16th\n Delegates arrive after lunch. \n 2:00pm-2.15pm Welcome and Introduction (David Wallace-Hare and Katharine Earnshaw) \n2.15pm-3.45pm Session 1: Observing Tree Behaviours: Learning with Trees \nModerator: TBC \n2.15pm- 2:45pm:        Estrella Luna Diaz (University of Birmingham): Immunological responses and priming \n2.45pm – 3.05pm:       Joe He (University of Birmingham): MEMBRA epigenetic learning \n3.05pm – 3.25pm:       Bruno Cintra (University of Birmingham): Ecological outputs from MEMBRA \n3.25pm – 3.45pm:       Alison Tidy (University of Nottingham): Exploring Priming in Elder for increased tolerance and establishment \n3.45pm- 4.05pm:      Team member from NetZeroPlus project \n4.05pm- 4.30pm:        Tea Break  \n4.30pm- 5.15pm:        Performance presentation reflecting on MEMBRA from Walking Forest \n5.15pm- 5.45pm:       Roundtable discussion about the interdisciplinary research and how it has worked within MEMBRA and the wider-Treescapes program \n Free Evening \n  \n\nDay 2: Wednesday July 17th\n  \n7.30am – 8.30am Invitation for ‘Running with Trees’ – Anne-Marie Culhane\, Walking Forest and Tim Lenton \nA 5km run that tells the Story of Trees\, Breath and Climate Change \n 9.30am – 11.00am Session 2: Tree Agency and the Law (Short Introductions and Panel Discussion) \n Moderator: Lucy Neal \n\nLucy Neal Introduction to and Reflections from the Ring of Truth: Walking Forest\nSarah Dodd (Lawyer and owner of Tree Law; environmental protection lawyer focused on trees) https://www.treelaw.co.uk\n Charles Mynors (specialist in tree and hedge law) – Law Commission of England and Wales\n\nEach speaker provides a 5-minute Introduction followed by general Q+A \n11.00am – 11.30am:   Break \n11.30am – 11.50am    Jasper Kenter (Aberystwyth University): Values of Nature – Introducing the new IPBES typology and Life Framework \n11.50am – 12.30pm    Reflective activity on the Rights of Trees.
