About this event

'Heap-work' is what Jenny calls the entanglement of life and research.

The 'heap’ is a process-driven ecology of care, a body of work drawing on personal narrative and theory. Constructed from hundreds of images, here, the ‘heap’ will become a giant freeform collage that sprawls and grows over the duration of the festival.

Gleaned from all areas walks of life, from all areas of the research (high and low) the images are cut out and pieced together to form new and constantly evolving connections, or poetics of relation. A co-creation born of a compost methodology; it is a fragile but care-laden ecosystem in a constant state of flux.

You are invited to help tend to the heap and participate in building / collage-making. Come play, add your story and see where it grows…

Book ahead or drop in.
