Exploring a world of greener possibilities with plant scientist Dr Emily Armstrong

Square Deal

Join plant-thinker and scientist Dr Emily May Armstrong on a journey through identity, nature, and plant-thinking.In this three-part collaborative workshop, we&#x27;ll be learning about genetics and identity and be encouraged to consider how similar we are, yet how different our environment makes us; we&#x27;ll be exploring the science behind why time in nature feels so good; and we&#x27;ll be learning ways to think collectively and organise like a plant. At the end of this Plant Thinking workshop, we&#x27;ll work collaboratively to create a collective collage poem inspired by what we&#x27;ve all learnt and experienced, facilitated by our current artist in residence Hussein Mitha. Each session will last for 20 minutes followed by a 20 minute collaborative group conversation, with breaks for tea, coffee and general chat! Plant Thinking is a three hour workshop which will get us thinking about our place in nature and how to embrace our similarities and differences for collective goals, all while learning to think collaboratively in our communities.This workshop is free to take part in and will be taking place in <a href="https://www.deveron-projects.com/square-deal/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Square Deal</a>, 22 The Square, Huntly.
