Join us for a unique creative experience blending sound, mindfulness, and art!
Guided by conceptual artist Delilah Sykes, this workshop invites you to explore the world around you through deep listening and creative expression. We’ll kick things off with a group sound walk through Burley Park and the surrounding area, where the group will capture the ambient sounds of the environment using recording equipment. It's all about following your ears, tuning into your surroundings, and embracing the power of mindful listening.

What, or who, do you think of when you consider the term artist? A few years ago I was asked this question, my response today is very different to the one I gave back then.
Let me introduce myself; I am Doll and I make art. I am an artist.
It has taken many years to feel comfortable saying that, and the question I posed has a lot to do with how I see myself. When I pondered the question originally my view of an artist came tangled in layers of perception, judgement and self doubt - the term evoked sterile white gallery walls and ornate gold frames holding oil paintings.
