School of Water: Healing the Urban Waterhole

I was commissioned to co-create a workshop for the 23rd Biennale of Sydney’s School of Water around the them of ‘Healing the Urban Waterhole’. In collaboration with somatic practitioner Samantha Belyea, I created an interactive workshop exploring the teapot as a site of gathering and story telling. Participants were invited to share tea and stories before creating their blend which could be shared with the group or savoured solo. The workshop wove together feminist principles of domestic intimacy, embodied knowing and every day ritualism.
