Artist María de Candama will host a workshop session called Autumn Garden 14-16:00. The session is for 8 participants and is organised in English. The session is held at Knusbacka house in the Hertonäs manor garden. No prior experience is required, but you need to register through this form and commit to attending the entire session.

Autumn Garden is part of a series of workshop-ceremonies that invite us to navigate seasonal changes in the context of our climate and ecological crisis. Each gathering takes place near a solstice or equinox and explores how we can reconnect with the symbolism of these thresholds without losing sight of the present moment. During Autumn Garden, you will create an autumn-equinox oracle using the plant deck from “There is nothing old under the sun”, a broader artistic project by María de Candama.

María de Candama is an artist who creates participatory performances and pedagogical experiences to research how we relate to our surroundings. Candama is her long-term artistic project, in which plants, public spaces, and ritual practices act as a starting point for establishing affective and reciprocal alliances with the world. She has worked as a curator for Mad House Helsinki and Circus Maximus, and teaches contemporary art workshops to children. She also performs in works by other artists.
