Join Chiara Dellerba and special guests to discover the wonder and beauty of our urban plants and create wilder streets where we live.

Sensing Plants Mapping Walk

In the morning, join artist Chiara Dellerba for a collective sensory mapping walk exploring alternative relationships with plants, facilitating structures of care and revealing our co-dependencies with other organisms. Use drawing and design tools to map local spaces and imagine different possible uses in the form of a new cartographic manifesto.

The Scent of The Hood

In the afternoon, mix bark, herbs and plants to make new recipes for perfumes of the neighbourhood, evoking memories of experiences and emotions associated with events and places. Can we create alternative narratives of public spaces through smell?

Join for all or part of the day, with further activities across the entire weekend.

Begins from the Corby Town Centre Steelman statue, outside The Corby Cube.

Pay what you can afford (Recommended donation £20)

Part of Chiara Dellerba’s Chimera Plantarium project taking place across Corby, this workshop is one of a new series of artist led activities which utilise the best of the online and offline world, connecting people with one another and the natural world. As part of our Xylophobia programme.

Chiara Dellerba is an artist, curator and facilitator based in UK. Her work focuses on ecology, slow down and collective-care practices and their civic impact on society. She makes installations, interactive performances, collaborative-based works and books as toolkits to investigate the city, the environment and the future of our society. In 2019, she founded Zona Planetaria, a research-based residency programme which promotes slowing down and contemplation as practices in which caring, resting, and suspending can be reclaimed as political acts by and for everyone.
