Two exhibitions – one either side of the Severn – last chance to see them

Both end on Sunday 27th March – the Old Passage exhibition in Arlingham and, across the river further along the estuary, the Severn Sisters show at 7Q in Chepstow.

The impact of climate change on marginal plants on the banks of the River Severn
The warming climate is strongly linked to changes in ecology and ecosystems.

Pandemic writing – giving attention – reflection
The Attention Series The Attention Series of writings are both disparate and connected. They speak of a particular time in my life, in our lives, that only four months ago were unimaginable. And how I am processing that world through acting, reflecting and writing. It is a rich time for sharing as we self-isolate andContinue reading “Pandemic writing – giving attention – reflection”
