‍

Explore the fascinating world of Lichens with local lichenologist Pat Wolseley and discover how they have inspired exhibiting artist Kathy Hinde to create her new installation at East Quay.

Join Pat and Kathy in conversation to explore how lichens function as a community of different organisms cooperating in a symbiotic relationship. Lichens are both extremely sensitive, yet some can also survive in extreme conditions. They respond to environmental conditions, including the impact of human activity.

Kathy’s installation combines films made with lichen, developed with plants, presented on adapted 1930s projectors that respond to live air quality data, accompanied by electronic music stimulated by plants.

The talk will be followed by a menu of light bites made from locally sourced ingredients.
