Meet Tenzing Chogyal Sherpa, grandson of Kanchha Sherpa’s the last surviving member of Hillary and Tenzing’s 1953 Everest expedition, the first men to stand at the peak of Mount Everest!

Listen to Tenzing Chogyal Sherpa as he talks about the strong bonds built in the mountain for survival and the difficulties experienced by Sherpa Mountaineers having to linger between the worlds of the sanctity of the Mountains and the mountain ascensions to make a living to support their families and why along his grandfather, he has become a restless advocate for education.

Tenzing Chogyal is one of the key researchers from the glaciology team in the National Geographic and Rolex Everest Expedition, which installed one of the highest Automatic Weather Stations in the world. Unlike his grandfather, he is not a mountaineer, but a scientist, namely, a glaciologist at ICIMOD, with extensive experience conducting glaciohydrological expeditions and geophysical surveys across Nepal, whose research concentrates mostly in understanding the dynamics of glaciers in the Hindu Kush Himalayan Region as well as their evolution with the changing climate and how these changes could impact people living in mountain regions, specifically in the context of glacial hazards.

Learn about how glaciers and glacial lakes move in the Himalayas Region and how through movement they sculpt our landscape and act as indicators of climate change and global warming. In this episode, Tenzing warns us about the seriousness of ice melting in the Himalayas and shares how he bounds science and the sense of spiritual connection of the Sherpa Community to prevent and adapt to the challenges exposed by powerful potential environmental catastrophes.

Gardens are all about movement, and in this episode, Louis Benech, France’s greatest living landscape designer, tells us why. Known for creating long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing gardens, where contemporary architectural settings, historic sites, and natural environments merge, Louis Benech has created together with his team, over 400 garden and park projects, both private and public, stretching from Korea to Panama, Peru, Canada, the United States, Portugal, Greece, and Morocco. His long list of clients includes the late Yves Saint Laurent and most recently Diane von Furstenberg among many international organizations such as Hermès, Axa and Suez.

What have gardens taught this man of artistry and strong spirit about life and death? We invite you to a fascinating conversation about light, symmetry, balance, and the people he sees in his imaginary before creating one. Sit for an hour with a man of depth, to talk about his love for trees, plants, dancing sculptures in Versailles and why gardens shall not be considering a luxury, but rather a necessity in terms of well- being.

Also, in this episode, world recognized author Andrea Wulf, accompanies us with her voice on a trip back in time to George Washington’s Garden, Mount Vernon, as she reads some excerpts of her book the “Founding Gardeners”, a book where the lives of Washington, Jefferson, Madison, and Adams are viewed from their perspective as gardeners, farmers, and plantsmen, and how their believe in greatness helped them project the land of liberty they imagined.

Whether from a religious, theological, philosophical, cultural, or a scientific perspective, the view of unity based on the commonality of the divine nature within and shared by all human beings is echoing a universal awareness. In this episode Rev. Barbara A. Holmes, addresses Western cultural complexities of “race” and ethnicity through the lenses of physics and cosmology and the barriers constructed by modern culture that prevent us from understanding and speaking a language of unity. She reminds us how movement is not antithetical of contemplation but rather an evoking force of motion. In this episode you will learn about public theology, the despair sang of the Blues, the significance of the improvisational and spontaneous character of jazz, and its secular insubordination. We invite you to listen her talk about the importance of elderly wisdom and the relevance of storytelling on individual and collective identity, as well as the role of Africanism in today’s life cultural and artistic expressions and how dance bounds us all with the cosmic.

Barbara A. Holmes is a spiritual teacher, activist, and scholar focused on African American spirituality, mysticism, cosmology, and culture. She is President Emerita of United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities, served as Vice President of Academic Affairs and Dean of Memphis Theological Seminary and was ordained in the Latter Rain Apostolic Holiness Church in Dallas, Texas as well as by the Disciples of Christ Christian Church.

"The violins, the deep tones of the basses, and especially the wind instruments at that time embodied for me all the power of that pre-nocturnal hour. I saw all my colors in my mind; they stood before my eyes. Wild, almost crazy lines were sketched in front of me” wrote Kandinsky after hearing Wagner’s Lohengrin, a moment that changed his life and pushed him to desist from a promising career as a lawyer to become a Master of Modern Art. Believed to be a synesthete, Kandinsky might have experienced sound in the form of color, shape, and movement. Prof. Karen Schloss, a faculty member at University of Wisconsin–Madison is part of a group of scientists who conducted a series of studies that confirmed what we already sense but did not have scientific proof of: whereas caused or not by synesthesia, when we listen to music, people’s emotional response can be translated into colors. Dare to accompany us in a knowledgeable interview by a committed researcher, who has devoted her professional life into studying color. Hear about her amazing findings regarding color concept association and color preference to understand how color influences our judgment and behavior. A passionate and lucid scientist, Karen Schloss’s knowledge on color mesmerizes and turns the path of discovery into an exciting venture.

A body and environmental detector that translates heat into an explosion of colors, giant stick-figure puppets, a river of fluid letters, voices recorded and translated into beautiful color shades, monumental chandeliers imitating the sun’s temperature, a bridge connected by lights and thousands of heartbeats forming valleys upside-down dazzling in the dark: his immerse installations are pure science fiction.

A strong sense of literacy in his use of LED lights, robotics, computerized surveillance and telematic networks translated into a restrained use of color, leaves no doubt for the viewer: Rafael, Lozano-Hemmer is by no means a techno optimistic. Known for avoiding excesses such as “architeinment”, that tend to jeopardize cities’ individual character through homogenizing forces, truth is, this artist longs for two sorts of color-light effects: the one which places the spectator somewhere between cathartic playfulness and awareness, and that produced violently either by men or by nature. Meet Mexican-Canadian scientist and artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer at the crossroads between architecture and artistic expression, in a rendezvous that will summon you to witness the explosive affair between art and science, an encounter in which, the presence of technology will indeed, be inevitable.

A superb closing episode for the series Movement that revolves on social movements and its analysis from a social as well as a historic perspective, cohosted by Prof. Swen Hutter, Lichtenberg Professor for Sociology at the Freie Universität and the WZB Social Science Center in Berlin.

What is Democracy today, and why the French Revolution such a pivotal point in History? How did religious movements evolve into social movements; Why are we witnessing strong polarization in the world of politics nowadays, and the revival of models of thought in the form of populist nationalism, that we thought to be terminally ill? Our guest, Prof. Bourke, Professor of the History of Political Thought at the University of Cambridge, and a Fellow of King ́s College of Cambridge, whose work focuses on the history of political thought, particularly on the political ideas of the enlightenment and its aftermath, helps us understand these and other inquires, while he brilliantly exposes parallels and differences of today’s social movements and events back in history.

In addition, the also Co-Director of the Cambridge Centre for Political Thought, expert on ancient philosophy and political theory in the 19th and 20th centuries, introduces us to Edmund Burke and his vision on the French Revolution, Kant’s revolutionizing ideas in regards of the making of identity and self-consciousness as well as Hegel’s vision on History and its relevance regarding our contemporary society.

Violence, poverty, inequality, the Climate Movement, and its difficulties to achieve its goals, the idea of the self and its exploration, as well as personal identity and individual agency back in the 18th and 19th Centuries vs. the concept of the self in today’s political struggles, all of these and more awaits you in this season’s remarkable an exciting final episode of See See by Ceci’s second season "Movement”!

*Prof. Richard Bourke is also A Fellow of the British Academy and of the Royal Historical Society.
