Mosscast x Dominica Williamson
This spring, I had the pleasure of joining Mosscast, a podcast that explores human–nature relationships through the lenses of multispecies justice, education, art, research and practice. I first met one of the hosts in Finland, after giving a presentation at Oulu University, and I’m so glad we had the chance to reconnect and share ideas more deeply.
River mapping
As exhibitions draw to a close and evaluation workshops bring everyone together for one final reflection, North Side, South Side: Tamar Riverscape Stories is nearing the end of its two-year journey.
This heritage-led project has travelled through varied habitats and historic sites, engaging in co-creation with participants, non-human actors, facilitators, teachers and youth leaders. From medieval voyages to market gardens, boxed apples to boxed performances, the river has shaped story, movement and meaning.
Blue, purple and red seas
I am working with young people, artists, and geographers to prepare imagery that expresses young people’s ideas about Francis Drake, as well as facilitating discussions over a cuppa to co-produce material using this imagery as a basis. This interdisciplinary approach not only enriches the creative process but also adds depth and perspective to the storytelling.
A Velvet History
I am collaborating with Tavistock Youth Cafe and The Tamar Valley National Landscape, with the support from the National Trust to explore Francis Drake’s home at Buckland Abbey. This partnership not only provides a valuable opportunity for young people to connect with their local heritage but also fosters a sense of ownership and leadership in exploring and interpreting the significance of figures like Drake.
Autism, climate change and anarchy
A group of us gained funding to co-create an event aimed to engage not only those who could no longer walk to The Reens - a woodland in Troon, Cornwall - but also targeted children and young people. The event comprised an outdoor workshop in Reens Wood and a gaming session in Troon Village Hall, both of which proved to be engaging and educational experiences.
