PLANT THEATRE FOR PLANT PEOPLE has been a four-day workshop with Grace Ndiritu, in which invited community members have experienced enhanced connections with the natural world through meditation, Shamanistic practices and spirituality. With this strengthened connection to plants, trees and each other, the group will lead a procession through Aberdeen. This act is both a celebration of how we can better relate to plants in the 21st century and how art and creativity can be used in climate change activism.
