Mossellany Monday #7: Gather
Art and Energy have been working with Plymouth Culture on a series of Creative Climate Conversations. Our conversations with creatives across Plymouth helped shaped our new book Be More Moss: A Mossellany of Questions for Life.
Each week we’re going to spotlight a simple activity from the book for you to try, it could be on your own, with friends & family or with a community group:
👥🥗🥘GATHER: Picture this: a table brimming with delicious food, a friendly ambiance, and good vibes all around. The perfect setting for forging new connections and strengthening existing ones. And guess what? Hosting a gathering like this could actually be eco-friendly!
Think about the people you'd like to get to know better. Invite them over for a feast and ask them to come with a burning question on how to make our planet brighter and greener. As you all tuck into the scrumptious spread, brainstorm and exchange ideas on how to make a difference. Not only will you be building a warm community, but you'll also be reducing the amount of resources consumed. It's a win-win!
We’d love to see your gathering! Share your feast and conversations with us on our BurytheGiant.Club which is free to join and everyone is welcome.
Art and Energy put together Be More Moss: A Mossellany of Questions for Life for anyone who likes to ponder, doodle and have new ideas - we invite you to draw on your imagination and get creative with this miscellany of facts and quotes about marvellous mosses, with activity pages waiting for your pen and stories of our past and future.
We've designed this book so that it can be used on your own, or as a group activity. It's full of moss-inspired activities and prompts that help people bypass eco-anxiety and think about things in their lives that are relevant to responding to the climate and ecological emergency. It's suitable for teenagers, young adults, older persons, parents or grandparents.
