TWIG project Together We Integrate Growth
Malaika Sarco & Richard Thomas
TWIG means Together We Integrate Growth. Travelling overland sustainably from Devon, England to Guangdong, China by foot, hitching and rail, the TWIG project aims to take every opportunity to contribute to the greening of human sensisbilities toward nature. By planting trees, dancing with trees and climbing trees along our route we will create a map of public performances that mark our journey across Eurasia. Daily performances, interactions with people, and trees commemorated, danced with and planted, will be logged here. Once in Guangdong, follow our community-based art project in the Nanling National Forest Park where we bring together our findings to create a pathway of folklore, musical instruments and treehouses and gardens of new growth accessible to all.
