D I S A P P E A R I N G PLANTS

Event Information

We’re obsessed with getting the right cherry blossom Instagram shot - but are we really paying attention to them ?....
Do pines and planes even give us permission to take their photo?...
Despite all our photo-taking, are plant species disappearing from the record in plain sight?

Join us for a creative afternoon that is playful and thoughtful in equal measure. We will closely explore the tree species on site before creating our own experimental, camera-free photographs using plant matters and photographic paper. As we watch the plants create their own impressions on paper and begin to fade we will talk about urban nature connection and action to prevent biodiversity loss.

Useful info:
This event will partly take place outside and in a covered indoor space
The site is step-free but uneven in parts which may be unsuitable for wheelchairs, do get in touch in confidence with any accessibility or sensory requirements
