Climate anxieety with P.O.S.T.O Agua.

I facilitate workshops with Brazillian Initiave P.O.S.T.O Agua for people in the UK. The workshops as a form of meditation to foster a conservational and regenerative ethic towards local ecosystems and flora, to help ease the concerns and anxieties that arise from the climate crisis. By drawing and focussing closely on different aspects of plants or trees in participants’ houses and nearby urban areas participants are invited to observe the ecology that thrives around them. The exercises undertaken during the workshop seek to develop the ability to observe and learn about the processes involved in your own emotional ecosystem and aim to celebrate and protect the external ecosystems we depend upon.

Zine Making:

‘The Intergalactic Embassy of…’

I run creative workshops aiming to help young people counter xenophobic rhetoric and hate speech. Participants create passports for intergalactic space travellers and aliens to work together to consider notions of belonging, shared identity and political/national borders. These workshops shed light on the absurd and controlling nature of bureaucracy compared to the reality of the human experience.
