22 March 2022 7pm at Ralli Hall: An artist’s perspective on rewilding at Knepp Wildland
Hazel Reeves, Hove Plinth’s sculpture adviser, and over last year artist-in-residence at Knepp Wildland, has been documenting the ecological value and sculptural beauty of the Knepp scrubland across the seasons from an artist’s perspective through soundscapes (recording of birdsong), film, photography and collaboration with a movement artist and filmographer.
Hazel will talk about her time at Knepp and her related Fabrica residency, illustrated by her images and her recorded birdscapes.
Venue: Ralli Hall, 81 Denmark Villas, Hove BN3 3TH
