About this Event

An immersive creative experience blending live poetry, performance, and participatory workshop. Dr Louie Gardiner shares a bold, evocative collection inviting us to face how we unwittingly exploit the planet to serve our desires for aesthetics and convenience. We are confronted with our human impact.

Offering five thought-provoking poems, Louie draws us into an encounter designed to ignite sparks of interest, reflections and experimentation.

Using creative writing, small group discussions and opportunities in the big group, we will generate a space that honours vulnerability, imagination, and shared reflection.

Perfect for anyone drawn to emergence, dialogue and self-expression.

No experience is necessary – simply a willingness to engage creatively with critical environmental issues and devastating human impact.

Includes a free online booklet. Poetry books available to purchase at the event.

This workshop is part of the Zero to 50 exhibition: Navigating Life at Whitespace EH8 9HQ

Everyone is welcome to the Opening Evening on Fri 21 Nov 2025 from 6pm
