Grandmother Clay – dialogue

Imagine that clay really is our earliest ancestor. The work Grandmother Clay asks you to feel this possibility and to connect with her (again).

The photographs on display in the garden room were taken by small groups of people who gathered at the 't Soete Zod estate. They created the sculptures from the clay beneath their hands. They then photographed the sculptures and searched for words together. Finally, they placed the images under the old birch tree on the sacred land of the 't Soete Zod estate. There, the images were allowed to dissolve back into the earth.

In February and March of this year, the photographs and words will be displayed in Impulse's Speakers Corner as an invitation to continue the conversation about Grandmother Clay.

You are welcome to join a dialogue about Grandmother Clay. A conversation based on silence and presence. You do not need to have any experience or know what you want to say. All you need to participate is to be open to what needs to be said. The dialogue will be conducted in English, but you are welcome to respond in your own native language.  The dialogue will be led by artist Marieke Ploeg and will last approximately 1.5 hours, including an introduction.
