For Every Bird a Nest

Combining art, poetry, image and sound

Part of Festival of the Mind
16 Sep 2022 13:00

Combining art, poetry, image and sound, this piece – created especially for the Festival of the Mind 2022 – reflects on work undertaken by participants, creative partners, and community members throughout the ‘For every bird a nest’ project. It also showcases work from the Arts Council funded project “Hideaway: poetry and painting from the saltmarsh“, which ran in tandem with “For every bird a nest”.
