Field Works

Field Works: Get away from the everyday, take time to creatively explore watery landscapes, reconsider our relationship with water and come back changed.

People from Dudley will be invited on one of 2 trips (one trip to Black Rock Sands in North Wales and the other to the Elan Valley in Mid-Wales). that will be designed and structured to encourage and enable participants to:
Consider the idea that ‘this water is all water’; explore the qualities of water; lookout for signs of what water does; investigate human-water relationships; engage in conversation and dialogue about water; respond creatively through the senses and contribute to shaping the wider project as it develops.

These field trips will involve and engage Dudley people, helping participants reconsider and think more carefully about our relationship with water and the implications of climate change on water locally and, through interconnected, natural systems globally.

Field Works is being produced by Time Rebels Helen + Bill.

HOW YOU CAN GET INVOLVED

Helen + Bill will be engaging with local people to see who would like to be involved in the project. Field Works follows on from their earlier project Getting into Hot Water:

Getting into Hot Water is a long term social art project exploring water and climate in Dudley where we aim to question the habitual ways by which we know water, stimulate dialogue regarding our relationship with water, engender a sense of curiosity and wonder, and create a change in ourselves.

​Getting into Hot Water is designed so that local people can get involved as co-researchers, co-creators, participants and audience. We would like everyone who takes part, including ourselves to feel part of something that is actively engaged in finding out more, with other people and creatively doing something to make a change.
