About this Event
Join us for a reflective, creative workshop tracing the intertwine histories of plants and people in Blommsbury. We will explore the plant worlds that shaped—and were shaped by— the Bloomsbury Group an early twentieth-century circle of writers, artists and intellectuals, including Virginia Woolf, E. M. Forster and John Maynard Keynes, who lived and worked around Bloomsbury. Their ideas about art, literature, friendship and modern life were rooted in the neighbourhood’s distinctive gardens, squares and green corners.
Together, we will consider what it means to live with plants in heritage sites. Through walking, sensing and simple sketching exercises, we will rethink care and ecological belonging across the UCL campus and its surrounding landscape.
The workshop will include:
· a guided multi-sensory tour around Bloomsbury
· collaboratively creating multimedia artworks
· a small group discussion at the IOA building
Meet plants, meet people, meet your own UCL life anew.
