Poetry, Art Discussion and Screening
Celebrating one of the rarest plants in the world with a film screening, poetry readings and a limited edition pamphlet the same size as the area covered by the Cornish Path Moss in England.
Artistic response to nature’s critical state brings a new dimension and audience to the issues, building understanding, affinity and a desire to protect it.
Artists Ella Frears and Ben Sanderson brought to life this unusual and very rare species with thought-provoking poetry and visual interpretations of its rarity, and asked participants to do the same on an open mic night and film screening.
