another garden (will be our city)

the dream(ing) field lab

a crucible, a carnival, a sanctuary, an imaginarium

conjuring a present future where the ancestral wisdom of the African diaspora + the Black ecowomanism’s intersectional understanding of environmental + social justice are set to the beat of raging joy, this immersive installation is inspired by the dream(ing) field lab’s june retreat in rural somerset, where an intergenerational gathering of Black women + femmes danced freely under the stars, honoured ancestral ecologies + co-created a sanctuary in which to offer and receive nourishment from each other + the earth.

“I feel as if the earth – of my spirit, my body has been tilled over I am emboldened.”

– a participant of the dream(ing) field lab retreat

Part of What Shall We Build Here, Artsadmin’s festival of art, climate and community from 8-12 September.

This project is a Common Ground commission as part of Season for Change, a UK-wide cultural programme inspiring urgent and inclusive action on climate change, delivered in partnership by Artsadmin and Julie’s Bicycle.

co-creators of the dream(ing) field lab jennifer farmer + zoë palmer, along with sound artist Nina Perry, Afro-Futurist performance artist Kookie Blu + documentary film-maker Flannery Miller, explore how acts of resting, collective-care + radical imagination are intimately bound up with how Black women + femmes relate to our communities + our planet in the grip of a climate crisis.
