Open Lunch Table - foraging from the land, preparing, eating together accompanied by speakers sharing their thoughts on art and nature.

Alongside Living Landscape, Rebecca Blackwood and Angie Atmadjaja have created an installation centred around a majestic willow table where artists, farmers, animals, and plants will all eat as equals which they have called muTable (adjective defined as ‘capable of change’). Ever conscious of human dependence on the land - on oxygen from plants, food from plants and animals (who eat plants), animals that pollinate plants and water purified by plants – Rebecca and Angie are hosting three open table lunches serving foraged and allotment foods as well as lively conversation to encourage recognition of the rich, complex role humans play in landscapes aiming to inspire change.For this table lunch, we will be joined by artist John Newling, internationally acclaimed, Nottingham based, a pioneer of public art with a social purpose. His works explore the natural world and the social and economic systems of society. He belongs to a generation of artists whose work evolved from art movements of the 1960s - Conceptual Art, Land Art and Arte. In 2018, Newling wrote to nature every day for 81 days. His letters form a manifesto for our relationship with the natural world. Part impassioned plea, part truth and reconciliation, part advocacy of an urgent need, part thoughts for future social ecologies. Frankly and intimately written as if to a loved-one, his letters attempt to forge a closer, more fruitful relationship with nature.Experience includes foraging, preparing vegetarian meal together, dining and taking some home with you.
