The Imaginarium Presents:Beth Chatto’s Meanwhile Garden - The Urban Wild & Other Disturbances

Join us at the Commons for an evening of performance, conversation and ecology.

Our encounters with the neglected corners of urban decay, the rubble-strewn, derelict constructions, cracked concrete, and weed-infested edges, can sometimes feel like interruptions in the ordered experiences of city life. Yet this perturbing sense of
uncontrollable, out-of-place, unsettled, and undesirable urban experience can often overlook broader modes of disturbance that function as forces, constantly transforming our environments, imaginations, and collective futures.

This free and open-to-all event invites you to consider concepts and practices of disturbance, not as unwelcome ruptures in predictable everyday urban experience, but as openings to something gainfully unintentional, unexpected, and perceptibly surprising.

There will be a pay bar and food available to buy as part of the evening.

Free event, booking essential.
