Daily Prompt Love <3 Wisdom Sits in Places

11 October 2017


From Wisdom Sits in Places: Landscape and Language Among the Western Apache by Keith H. Basso


“Knowledge of places is closely linked to knowledge of the self, to grasping one’s position in the larger scheme of things, including one’s own community, and to securing a confident sense of who one is a person.” 


“One must acknowledge that local understandings of external realities are fashioned from local cultural materials, and that, knowing little or nothing of the latter, one’s ability to make appropriate sense of “what is” and “what occurs” in another’s environment is bound to be deficient.” 


Make art about the knowing or unknowing linked with place, about the wisdom ‘in places.’
