The Art of Entanglement: Fish, Flow, and Knowing

Dive into a creative world where fish, water, and story are teachers. Building on the energy and excitement of last year’s “Fish as Storytellers”, this year’s program moves more deeply into themes of entanglement, reciprocity, and relational ways of knowing.

Through art-making, storytelling, and land-based reflection, we’ll explore how knowledge moves in quiet and unexpected ways—appearing in the gestures of water, the memory held in natural materials, and the relationships we build with one another. This experience offers a welcoming entry point for anyone curious about environmental storytelling, interdisciplinary practice, or creative approaches to sense-making.

Participants will move through an intuitive, sensory-based process designed to help reconnect with subtle and embodied forms of knowing. You’ll experiment with emergent, relational creative practices, treating story, material, and movement as pathways to insight, reflection, and discovery.

Together, we’ll explore how creativity can deepen our connection to place and community, offering fresh ways of engaging with the natural world and the narratives that shape it. Following metaphors of flow and movement, we’ll notice how stories travel between bodies, waters, and communities—and how art-making can become a site of connection, curiosity, and transformation.

Whether you’re joining us for the first time or returning to dive deeper, this workshop offers a vibrant space where creativity, land, and collective meaning-making come alive.
