What Stories Make Worlds Conversations Event
Join us for an afternoon of conversation
Join artists Emma Critchley, Feral Practice with Megan Broadmeadow, Hannah Fletcher, Lydia Halcrow, Jem Southam and curator Tim Martin to explore and discuss the themes and work that led to the creation of the current exhibition What Stories Make Worlds.
The exhibition title draws inspiration from Donna Haraway's words in her book ‘Staying with the Trouble: Making Kin in the Chthulucene’: “It matters what matters we use to think other matters with; it matters what stories we tell to tell other stories with; it matters what knots knot knots, what thoughts think thoughts, what descriptions describe descriptions, what ties tie ties. It matters what stories make worlds, what worlds make stories.”
The event will explore how this group of artists respond to our relationship with landscape and the environment at a time of climate change and biodiversity collapse. It will not only reflect on Haraway’s words but also on ideas around journeying to, along and within oceans, shorelines, estuaries, rivers, forests, hills and gardens.
Refreshments provided.
