The New Eden – JC Niala

This event is part of the Off the Shelf Festival of Words.

An urgent new voice in nature writing, JC Niala explores wildlife in our cities, reframing our perception of co-existing with the natural world.

Through her experience of cities, from London to Nairobi, San Francisco to New Delhi, environmental historian and anthropologist JC Niala offers a luminous exploration of city life.

Combining memoir, social history, and cultural commentary, she celebrates nature in our cities and offers a powerful vision of the future where we can all belong – living with nature rather than simply in it.
