Scream to the Sky

Centering charcoal as an active medium, artists Jameela Gordon-King and Jade de Montserrat offer a two day catered workshop within our woodlands site in rural Stirlingshire, engaging with on-site charcoal making to create site-specific and collective work. The workshop aims to accentuate the automatic gesture and nurturing of uncensored self-expression. The weekend intends to explore space through movement and somatic based drawing exercises accompanied by deep listening, guided by Jameela and Jade. Participants will form a collaborative body, engaging with each other and the land through connectivity, with an intentionality of decolonial practice: decentralisation of western ways of mark making and movement; acknowledging our indigeneity to land, using charcoal that is of the land. Site specificity through a land offering ceremony and experimental sound as a somatic stimulant is offered.

People from all generations who are interested in the idea of an expanded view of drawing and knowledge, a festival of ideas, are encouraged to attend. Some prior understanding of such practices is required.
