 EMERGE
live performance and poetry reading Time: 6:30pm-7:30pm Location: Leicester Print Workshop Gallery, St George Street, Leicester LE1 1QG FREE Myself and Jo Dacombe will create a contemplative space to explore the theme of ENERGY through a live performance and poetry reading where audiences are invited to cocoon, dropping into energies of hibernation, restoration, and germination. The piece responds to the Garden Mud(ras) works which I have been developing over the last few years. Collaborating again with Jo Dacombe, we will present a meditative session in the same aesthetic as our earlier Time & Tide performance. This new piece considers the theme of ENERGY which is addressed in the latest issue of IMMINENT zine. We will draw upon the seasonal rhythms at this time of year when the dark affords us with more time for rest, healing, and dreaming. My Garden Mud(ras) prints EMERGE and RELEASE prints are in the current LPW members show and copies of the zine will be available to purchase on the night. The performance will start promptly at 6:30pm and finish around 7:30pm with a warming drink afterwards. Please wear warm and comfortable clothing, we will encourage audience to be seated on the floor, but chairs and cushions and blankets will be provided.  image courtesy Jo Dacombe Fellow artist and friend Jo Dacombe has brilliantly put together the next issue of IMMINENT zine - on the theme of energy.

The heritage grains of wheat, barley, oats and rye were sown in spring during the 'Seed Sankalpa' event. This ritual took inspiration from ceremonies carried out by rural farming communities to honour the land and bless seeds and tools for the coming season of cultivation. The grain seeds were provided by Small Food Bakery and carry stories of seed sovereignty and biodiversity in farming. We have watched the grains growing throughout the summer, harvesting them in a gardening session on a hot August morning, and winter is here and we'll complete the cycle - saving some seed to plant again and using the rest to grind into flour and make rotla a traditional Gujarati flatbread, which we will share and eat together with artist made chutney.
