An audio-guided workshop / experience taking place in Orozco Garden and Clore Studio.*
Lithic Encounters brings together different stories about stones and lithic entities from the Andes into dialog with the South London Gallery’s Orozco Garden. The stories reflect on different belief systems regarding stones: one that acknowledges them as living entities and the other as a mere resource to be extracted. The audio-guided journey invites the participants to engage their own bodies while listening to the stories. Through different somatic tasks a sensorial exploration with Orozco Garden will take place, exploring also the relationship between stones, memories and the traces of erased territories we inhabit.
After the guided walk the group are invited to come together and share their experiences with the artist.
* The audio-guide will be in Spanglish, though English only-speaking participants will be able to participate fully. While the workshop is open to all, participants from Latin America are particularly encouraged to attend.
