Endless Pilgrimage: A Game of Desire Paths in partnership with Kent Downs
Friday 20 March, 5–9pm
Future Foundry, Biggin Hall, Biggin Street Dover CT16 1BD
Endless Pilgrimage is a life-size participatory board game that translates the group’s walking research method into an accessible, playful public experience at The Dover At Night Event.
Mood on a Plate & Collage Faces in partnership with Hospital Rooms
Digital Art School YouTube channel
Mood on Plate invites participants to let go and embrace feelings. It begins with recognition: a gentle breathing exercise, followed by body scanning, becoming aware of your presence and the emotions you are experiencing right now. Participants are guided to notice their breath, their body, and the feelings that arise, acknowledging where there may be tension, openness, or stillness. From this awareness, the workshop moves into expression. Using grounding materials such as air-dry clay and acrylic paints, participants translate their emotions into a tangible form.The final outcome is a plate that embodies the emotion you wish to express, something to embrace, release, or simply acknowledge.
Collage Faces focuses on the tactile pleasure of tearing paper and the randomness of the assembly process. Participants create individual facial features—eyes, noses, mouths, and then "remix" them to build surreal, expressive characters. This approach shifts the focus from achieving a perfect result to enjoying the creative process.
