Juliette Claire, along with collaborator Michaela Bear, invite visitors to join them for a workshop that invites deeper connection to the natural environment, each other and ourselves in times of turbulence.

We travel forward
you and I
through the motions of change
- Juliette Claire

Participants will witness a performative activation by Juliette and be led through embodied movement and writing activities that respond to the artist’s multisensory exhibition Locating in Disarray in First Site Gallery. The workshop extends exhibition themes, exploring embodied entwinements with the natural world as a way to navigate both internal landscapes and external ecological grief.

No experience required.

All writing materials provided, but you are welcome to bring your favourite writing implements along. If you have allergies please bring antihistamines as there will be plant material in the space.
