Developed as part of the research for The Breathing Stone, an upcoming exhibition at Void Art Centre, this workshop invites participants to walk along Derry’s historic walls and discover the hidden stories of the medicinal plants, fossilised sea creatures embedded in the stone, and the delicate ecosystem they sustain together.
Through attentive walking, conversation and drawing, we will explore dreams as a shared territory where humans, plants, stones and other living beings may encounter one another. Rather than understanding dreams as something exclusively human, the workshop proposes dreaming as an ecological space that can cultivate tenderness, care and new ways of relating to our environment.
Open to everyone, the workshop combines a guided walk along Derry’s walls followed by a collective drawing session at the Playhouse. Together we will reflect on the invisible relationships that sustain the living wall and imagine other ways of listening to the landscapes that surround us.
This workshop will take place at The Playhouse, 5-7 Artillery Street, Derry, BT48 6RG. There will be moments of walking, and so, we suggest wearing appropriate footwear. If you have access requirements, please email cecelia@derryvoid.com
