Multispecies Garden Vision Council: Multispecies Cultures

Berwick Barracks  |  31 July 2022

Ended

Join artists from the Multispecies Visionary Institute for a creative exploration of the site’s multispecies culture.

This immersive workshop will explore multispecies thinking, making and dreaming and work towards a collective design and long-term vision for the tennis courts 

Artists Hannah Christy and Joe and Sabina Sallis will provide a feast of foods and invite participants to make a herbal brew using wild yeast gathered from the site. 

The event will close with weaving the visible and invisible into a collective storytelling, and an improvised live music performance to bring alive the spirit of the wild yeast and collectively enliven, activate and celebrate the temporary community and encounter with site. 

This event is part of the Multispecies Visionary Council – a two day gathering at an overgrown former tennis court at Berwick Barracks to explore how the site could be developed into a community art garden whilst retaining the natural environment that already exists there.  

Other events include: 

What the Garden wants – Saturday 30 July 1pm – 4pm 

Terra Domes of mythic and cosmic concerns – Saturday 30 July 2pm – 5pm 

Naturally occurring substance known as electricity  – Saturday 30 July at 4pm and Sunday 31 July at 5pm 

Permaculture for the Place – Sunday 30 July 11am-2pm
