Over the course of the day artists Joe Sallis and Cullum McDonald will build a geodesic structure from materials on site. The domes with their simple, modular structure are a starting point to begin to explore ways of working with nature’s principles and manifest nature’s geometry that resembles a chain of cells in living organisms.
Visitors are invited to participate in the making activity, ask questions and watch the structure take form over the course of the day.
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
Permaculture for the Place – Sunday 30 July 11am-2pm
Multispecies Cultures – Sunday 30 July 2pm – 5pm
And, if you don’t want to take part in any workshops but would like to visit the site to view the artworks and performances, you can book a free ticket to visit between 4-6pm on Saturday or Sunday here.
