Draughting Dialogues

As a ‘live’ redrawing of that which is given, Trees of Grace: Draughting Change will question, challenge, propose, transform and attempt to generate potential futures for Northwest England. Using OS maps as a basis, the exhibit will, therefore, become a site of dialogue with guests of many disciplines and visitors contributing to and participating in the ecological whole systems, integral critical futures, spatial planning discourse. Participants are invited to generate a sequence of ‘draught’ proposals for Mersey futures.

 

9 March, 10.00am – 2.00pm

Gordon MacLellan

Strandline

A participatory project that explores our changing coastline over the next hundred years. With a focus on the Mersey as coastal site, participants will be invited to create a hanging sculpture from natural materials. Weaving background knowledge, personal experience and creativity into an appreciation of the pace, extent and implications of our changing coastline for human, animal and plant communities and even for the landscape itself.
