Imaginary Territory: Interspecies Relationships Workshop— Session 2

Welcome to our second session of the Imaginary Territory workshop series! Join us at Chiswick House and Gardens for an immersive outdoor creative experience exploring the fascinating world of interspecies relationships. This interactive session will delve into the intricate interspecies connections to reflect on your interactions with local trees and land— and how those relationships shape your identity, sense of belonging, and community.

When: Sunday, 10 August | 12:00–2:00 PM

Where: Chiswick House and Gardens | Italian Garden

Participants will engage in activities led by artists and gather meaningfully by the trees to express their experiences and insights about interspecies connections. Whether you have a deep connection to urban wildlife, plants, or are simply curious about ecological relationships in urban settings, this workshop provides engaging tools to visualise and narrate your experiences.
