On Thursday 31 March 2022 Sheila is part of The Commons: A Gathering at The MERL. The symposium brings together the artists involved in The Commons: Re-Enchanting the World project with other invited practitioners and thinkers to engage in discussions around commoning. Those present will share their experiences and challenges of practicing and enacting different ways of working responsibly with our common resources of land, food, and environment and practices of solidarity.
Contributors alongside Sheila include:
Sigrid Holmwood, Kelechi Anucha and Carl Gent, Sam Wallman, Catherine Morland, Amanda Couch, Carmen Wong, JC Niala, Michael Smythe, Nick Hayes and Karl Fitzgerald
