18 May – Coppice and Drought [offsite in Cambridgeshire] 
23 May – Fuel and Property [online] 
30 May – Network and Contact [Wysing Arts Centre] 

We wanted to take the opportunity of our 30th anniversary to ask what Wysing’s role might be in addressing the urgent societal issues of our time. Taylor Le Melle has been in-residence at Wysing over the spring and has been developing a series of events as part of our anniversary programme. 

“What is the nature of the resources at your disposal? What is the value of your labour? What is there to yield from an investment in depth? What is extracted from a transaction that is considered productive? What are the assets held within your networks? How do the material conditions of work structure intimate contact?” 

The events will take place offsite in a nearby wood, online, and across Wysing’s site. We would like to invite you to save the dates.
