Land Body Ecologies Festival 22–25 June 2023

Land Body Ecologies festival takes place this month between 22–25 June 2023 at the Wellcome Collection.

This festival marks a culmination of our 2-year residency at the Wellcome Hub as part of our Wellcome Trust Hub Award. The festival is produced by Unbox Cultural Futures Society and Invisible Flock.

Over four days, the festival fills five floors of Wellcome Collection with free art installations, workshops, talks, films, and performances. This sensory, communal, and reflective sharing is the culmination of two years of exploration by Land Body Ecologies, a collective of human rights activists, mental health researchers, scientists, academics, and artists.

The festival probes the deep interconnections of the health of the earth and our wellbeing, connecting global local communities, thought leaders, and artists, disseminating ‘the language of place.’ Stories from people and communities experiencing and processing Solastalgia will be shared, with the hope for a collective and mindful exploration into the environment and mental health. The festival is free and open to all, but some activities are ticketed, with limited availability.
