What is a landscape you care deeply about?
Is there a place you visit to calm down, spend time with family, exercise, a creative outlet, met new people, perhaps you made memories with a loved one?
Focus on what emotions come up, how they arrive in your body and infuse into the landscape.
After a few practice sketches you can make a postcard from this place!
This activity counters holiday and tourism advertising and consumerism - focusing on a place that the individual considers carefully, likely in their area or somewhere they stay with family. This focus on mindful experiences promotes sustainable travel and consumerism, opposed to idellic adverts encouraging taking a plane or car to a faraway destination. The postcard is a relic of the tourism industry, let's turn it into something meaningful!
This workshop is taking place as part of Camden Inspire: Green Loop Takeover - a climate festival of ideas, workshops, repair sessions, talks and exhibitions that challenge our throwaway culture and explore hopeful, practical ways to live more sustainably. See the full porgramme on our website.
