If culture matters in humans, why wouldn’t it matter in chimpanzees?

Dr. Ammie Kalan shares evidence from 40+ wild communities showing rich, threatened cultural diversity — including distinct termite-fishing traditions.

Conservation needs to protect populations and their cultures.

“Water Lines: Landscape, Design, and Environmental Legibility”
How can design make hidden water systems visible—and political?
This talk traces water across rivers, pipes, dams, and dry landscapes to show how landscape architecture helps us read power, ecology, and public concern.
