Natural Resources Home About Conditions for Ongoingness (Documentation) 2018 Conditions for Ongoingness was a project furthering investigation into the symbiotic nature of human and non-human systems. The exhibition at Jupiter Woods reflected on a two-day permaculture workshop led by artist and environmentalist Charles Pryor in October 2017 and new works by invited artists considered our entwined relationship with the environment and with each other.

Produce The garden is perfect for growing, fermenting and permaculture. There are some raised beds, an abundance of apples and a lot of potential for more. Over the past three years we've been working on a community apple project to make craft apple juice, cider and hosting an annual wassail event.

About Blog Events Team Partners Protocal Minutes Search Results More Ethical questions for artistic engagement and research with people living with dementia How is consent gained (& ongoing consent)? Does consideration of capacity and consent exclude people from participation? Does the project encompass differences in emotional range (not one size to fit all)? What is the comparative value to the participant to the practitioner? What happens (to the project, people, work, data etc) after the activities end? Process vs product (for whose benefit)? How do audiences change as the project progresses? Is it problematic for ‘dementia’ to act as an inspiration for artistic work / research? To what extent does the project interact with the person vs the illness? What considerations are there in place in terms of carer involvement? Does the extent of engagement offered suit the form and aims of the project? Are the activities culturally and socially inclusive? If work is by nature exploratory, how is this (uncertainty) communicated? How can the value of uncertainty in the process be aligned with clear, structured pre-emptive protocols? What is the justification for appropriation (in art and research)? Is criticality of the methods used embedded in the project and are there ways to adapt and change? Can the benefits of criticality outweigh the benefits of positive engagement? What is meant by positive engagement? i.e. what sort of experiences are to be encouraged?

The Swynnerton Plan, 2015-present This project has included preliminary attempts at paintings based on redacted documents, growing tea and coffee plants from seeds and public distribution of printed information. The Swynnerton Plan of 1954 refers to British colonial agricultural policy in Kenya implemented during the Mau Mau Uprising. The plan aimed to intensify agricultural production through cash crops such as tea and coffee; removing indigenous populations from ancestral lands, redistributing property and displacing hundreds of families. This period of colonialism includes some of the worst atrocities and human rights abuses committed by the British Empire and thousands of documents from this time have been destroyed, hidden or redacted so the truth of these actions (among many others) are still not widely known, acknowledged or included in education about British history.
