Weeds are Community Immersive Event - Main Image

This sound-based artwork is an invitation to look closer at the organic fabric around us through weeds: plants you might overlook every day as they seek sanctuary in walls, reach up from drains and push through cracks in the pavement. Take a stroll through the town’s streets reimagining these small but determined life forces that exist in tandem with the human spirit. Instructions: Start at St John’s church. Walk down the path to its right Stop by the iron gates on your left. Spot the birds feeding their young.
