Guided Sketching Workshop / More-Than-Human UCL: A Transdisciplinary Mini-Series

Co-organised by LAHP-UCL student Merry Chow.

Join us for a guided sketching workshop exploring living histories alongside the plant life that quietly shapes the UCL Bloomsbury campus. Together, we will reflect on what it means to live with plants in heritage sites. Through walking, sensing and simple creative exercises, we will consider questions of co-living, care and ecological belonging around Bloomsbury.

The workshop will conclude with:

· a guided multi-sensory tour around Bloomsbury
· collaborative co-working towards a multimedia artwork
· a small focus group discussion

Dates (choose available date/dates):

About the Series
‘More-Than-Human UCL’ is a three-part transdisciplinary programme exploring how research can contribute to emerging multispecies study and practice. Bringing together anthropology, archaeology, heritage, visual art, and environmental humanities, the series will foreground the more‑than‑human worlds that shape and are shaped by research. Its overarching aim is to build a community of practice that experiments with alternative ways of co-living with plants, fungi, animals and other non‑humans.

This event marks the first gathering in the ‘More-Than-Human UCL: A Transdisciplinary Mini-Series’, funded by UCL Anthropocene Network.
