A Space for Hope is an interactive installation which seeks to create space for climate hope amongst increasing climate anxiety. This interactive installation will involve documentary footage, guided movement and creative writing, to encourage reflection on our shared fears and hopes for the future.
The Thursday workshop will be an extended version of the installation and audience members will play an active role in shaping the final form of the installation. Audience members are welcome to both the workshop and the installation itself. The installation will run four times, on the hour, from 12pm to 3pm on the Saturday.
Join us in making space for hope.
