Step to the Earth
Home
Fri 2 May - Sun 13 July
As coastlines erode and floods escalate, how do we respond to a fast-changing world?
A short season of artworks, talks and workshops that explore our relationship with the land we live on through new forms of storytelling.
Step to the Earth stretches across Watershed from May to July, inviting you to tune into the pace of change we often miss – and the details of life on earth that are usually invisible to the human eye.
This season asks the question: How can artists help us grapple with the multiple challenges of our crisis-ridden present?
