I’m very much looking forward to talking at Hooke Park this Friday for the Future Forest. It’s a great array of speakers encompassing scientists, foresters, architects, curators and artists. Information on tickets (including travel to the Dorset location are available below).
FUTURE FOREST
7th Nov | Hooke Park | 11.30 - 17.30
Future Forest is a one-day multidisciplinary event set within the 140 hectare working woodland at Hooke Park, the Architectural Association’s rural campus in Dorset. Bringing together voices from forestry, ecology, art and architecture, the day explores how creative and scientific practices can co-evolve in the age of climate emergency.
The morning grounds us in the technical and ecological — with talks from forestry and silviculture experts. This is centred around the future of forestry and the AA Wood Lab’s 100 Year Forest Project - a framework for the long-term management of the working forest at Hooke Park. In the afternoon, the conversation expands to explore how artistic and speculative practices can shape our understanding of environmental and ecological futures.
Tickets for the event are free, tickets including cooked lunch are £7
For anyone coming from London there’s also an option to book a free shuttle bus from Dorchester South and back.
