pool burn lock and sluice at Little Sparta

This year we launched a new residency programme, and partnered with Little Sparta to support the creation of collaborative, poetry-led performance work inspired by Little Sparta’s gardens and the work of Ian Hamilton Finlay more broadly. Poet Iain Morrison and visual artist Corin Sworn have improvised physical writing tools from the garden itself to create, destroy and re-create new work. Join them at Little Sparta as they asking how life morphs within systems built to order it and what ways of playful counter map-making might destabilise, rather than support, imposition.

A further performance will also be developed for the festival.
