GROWING ROOTS
We gathered a group of people who are asylum seekers, and together got to know local trees through drawing, printmaking, storytelling, poetry,
Shadow theatre, and fabric applique.
Learning about the trees our neighbours was encouraged as a way of growing new roots in this place.
A second cohort will meet in the Winter/Spring of 2024.
