Walking as Remapping: A Walk with(in) the Dye Plants

Join Anita for a walk through the Howitt Park area, a former quarry that is home to many natural dye plants.

Time

5:30pm - 7:00pm

Location Howitt Park

Price Free

Anita Cazzola’s artwork celebrates the resilience of wild plants through naturally dyed textiles – a practice that always begins with walking. The simple act of walking invites us to witness the ways in which plants make their home in a space, demonstrating radical power through their generative disobedience and wisdom in the simple act of being.

Join Anita for a walk through the Howitt Park area, a former quarry that is home to many natural dye plants. This is space of homecoming, in that it has allowed for the great return of plant species after their displacement and welcomes new forms of life in need of a place to land. Together we will walk gently through this space, allowing curiosity to guide us, introducing ourselves to plants along the way and learning about the colours they share as natural dyes.
