Pathways

I was invited to facilitate creative sessions with the ‘Pathways’ Group at Orb Arts in Knaresborough, North Yorkshire.

Since last summer, the group have been exploring Knaresborough Forest Park and Long Lands Common, ideas around common land, sense of place, belonging, and communal ownership… and how this impacts on individual and community wellbeing.

In these workshops, I shared my research into human:non-human creative collaborations and equitable making practices – and how making art in equal partnership with the Land in this way can help build kinship with place and mobilise climate action – and explored ways of connecting and ‘hearing’ the Land on the Commons.
