Speakers: Matthew Stadken, Esther Woolfson,Tom Ryan

Humans have lived side by side with animals for millennia, but how much do we understand about this complex relationship? In How To See Birds: An Enthusiast’s Guide broadcaster Matthew Stadlen argues, as he takes us on a personal journey from London to the Masai Mara, that while we all see them, many of us fail to fully notice birds. In Between Light and Storm Esther Woolfson, author of Field Notes from a Hidden City, explores our representation of animals in art, our consumption of them for food and our willingness to slaughter them for sport and fashion, as well as examining concepts of love and ownership. In conversation with Tom Ryan.
