Map Making The Sublime
Friday 21st March @ 10.00am - 1pm
Health of the Sublime is delighted to partner with The Barn to invite participants to help make a multimedia handcrafted mindmap, based on the places we most intensely experience wellbeing and the sublime in the natural world.
Please bring a nature-based object which resonates with you creatively (e.g. a shell, pebble, branch etc...) to be incorporated into the large flexible map, which will be joined with others to make a giant quilt of wellbeing. We will incorporate text, textile skills including embroidery and other objects, and will engage in a discussion of the meaning of these, their connection to wellbeing, and how making and being in nature affect our outlook. Poems welcome!
Health of the Sublime is a creative arts programme focusing on the experience of wellbeing in the natural world, through the lens of climate change. Funded by Creative Scotland and in partnership with Mearns and Coastal Healthy Living Network.
Pay what you think is appropriate £3 or £5, tickets available now here.

Climate Fresk
Climate Fresk is a group workshop built around a card game. The cards represent and summarize concepts like industry, CO2, and rising temperatures. The Fresk uses teamwork and collective creativity to help people understand climate science and come up with possible solutions. Participants are handed a few cards with photos and concepts and explanations on them that begin with large general concepts like human activities to very specific science like calcification difficulties. Participants take turns reading them to each other and then lay them on the table and discuss what cause and effect order they go in. There are several rounds adding more cards, and once the cards are all in order, participants mind map their work and make it into an art piece with their drawings, whilst discussing it and how it makes them feel. Afterward they make a graph and discuss actions/changes they could take. It's fun, community making, and you will leave with a plan of actions.
