Due to adverse weather forecasted this event has been postponed.
A walk opening up the question, “if the land could speak and you were listening, what would you say back?” at Fàsach, Glendale.
Lauren and Giacomo will bring along various tools for gathering sound, light, and other qualities of ‘place’, bringing objects to hold, and sharing learning on Glendale’s archaeology, geology, colour theory, and oral history. As we walk through Fàsach, we’ll open conversations around ways of connecting with landscape, memory, identities and deep time.
Lauren and Giacomo are keen to learn more about different techniques of listening, and ways of seeing landscapes and places as things always being remade. Come along if you’re interested in archaeology, sound, photography, geology, and local history.
All to meet at Glendale Hall, 4 Lephin, Glendale, Hall, Isle of Skye IV55 8WJ and walk from there to 11 Fàsach.
Hot drinks and snacks will be provided.
Fàsach, (Glendale) the Gàidhlig word for wilderness meaning “outside of the domesticated bounds and of human controlling ‘nature’, it is a place of explicit human-nonhuman relations” James Oliver.
