Diasporing Terrains, Workshop led by Rieko Whitfield


Stevens Building, RCA Kensington, London
06/06/2024 15:30 - 19:00

Featuring meditation and automatic writing, the workshop explores fruits and flowers as metaphors for tenderness, hope, and resilience in the alchemising of grief – to co-create alternate landscapes beyond the gates of the coloniser’s garden.

From this workshop, Rieko Whitfield will be creating an audio-visual installation which will form part of the exhibition The Enigma of Arrival.
