A Space for Hope is an interactive installation which seeks to create space for climate hope amongst increasing climate anxiety. This interactive installation will involve documentary footage, guided movement and creative writing, to encourage reflection on our shared fears and hopes for the future.
The installation will run four times, on the hour, from 12pm to 3pm on Saturday 29th November.
The Thursday workshop will be an extended version of the installation and audience members will play an active role in shaping the final form of the installation. Audience members are welcome to both the workshop and the installation itself.
The installation is a collaboration between ShyBairn Theatre, Alucinari productions, Aura CuriAtlas Physical Theatre and the University of St Andrews’ School of Geography and Sustainable Development. ShyBairn Theatre (https://www.shybairntheatre.co.uk/) create theatre projects that seek to contribute to social change, their previous projects include ‘This is What Utopia Looks Like’, which ran at St Andrews Botanic Garden in November 2024. Adrian Fisk, of Alucinari productions, is a prolific photographer and documentary filmmaker, whose work explores a range of topics, including social justice, environmentalism and climate action: https://www.adrianfisk.com/.
