CALL THE CATTLE HOME, workshop
Ruairí Valentine and Tom Chachewitz
Join artists Tom and Ruairí for a 2-part workshop exploring how folklore and mythology can help us reconnect with the landscape and our local ecology. The workshop involves an artist-led walking tour around Bidston Hill, visiting sites of folkloric interest and collecting litter and objects as a way of connecting to the land. Then, create your own folk figure from clay and found objects to offer protection for yourself or on behalf of a loved one, species, ecology or society.
Plans are being made to make this workshop accessible to all – please contact the organisers directly for more information.

About Bidston Observatory Artistic Research Centre:
Bidston Observatory Artistic Research Centre (BOARC) is a self-organising study site for research, communality and experimentation.
It is not for profit, and focuses on providing a low-cost, temporary work space for individuals and groups so they can to come together and take the time needed to develop their practices and projects. This can be in the form of nightly stays for up to a month, or day use of the building.
BOARC welcomes a wide diversity of fields, such as art, music and theatre, to philosophy, bodywork, social activism, environmental science, culture and technology.
Based in a historical landmark, it is a space where discussion can easily flow from the kitchen to the sound recording studio, and ideas can bounce between the domes and basement workspace.
