this/OUR is a community deep mapping project exploring Glenbower Wood through art, history, ecology and citizen science, led by artists Basil Al-Rawi, Chris Finnegan, Katie Nolan and Philip Ryan in partnership with Greywood Arts.
Deep mapping is a transdisciplinary process that layers community voices, artistic interpretations, historical narratives, and ecological perspectives into a multidimensional narrative of place. This methodology, inspired by Jorge Luis Borges' short essay On Exactitude in Science, allows us to explore the tension between the precision in defining "THIS" place and the transient, relational nature of "OUR" connection to it.
HOW BIG IS HERE?
Walk in Glenbower Wood - Thurs 20th March - Spring Equinox - World Rewilding Day - 12-3pm
Following on from the rich conversations we had during the recent launch events, we’d like you to join us for a walk in Glenbower Woods on Thursday 20th March at 12-3pm to continue the conversation where we attempt to answer the question that arose during those events, "how big is here?"
Over a leisurely stroll, we will introduce ourselves to the wood, observing its boundaries and terrain. Paying attention to the flora and fauna that live there, we will map the wood through walking and conversation. We welcome members of the community that are already acquainted with Glenbower Wood as well as those who may be less familiar or from further afield.
This relaxed walk will take about 3 hours and we will stop in the woods to have lunch so pack some sandwiches... and bring appropriate footwear!
So please, join us at the this/Our studio at Greywood Arts at 12pm and in the meantime, we hope you enjoy the rest of National Tree Week.
