The NewBridge Project Gallery is closed throughout March. NewBridge Books will be open as usual.
Join community herbalist Rasheeqa Ahmad of Hedge Herbs, based in London, for a knowledge-sharing and practical plant medicine workshop.
We will hear about the practice of herbal medicine in our healthcare ecologies today, its role in systems change that connects us with land and the wild, our ancestral beings and the current social justice movement.
Rasheeqa will offer an overview of simple herbal preparations that you can make at home, and go through the process of making one with you using plants of the season. We’ll share information beforehand so that you can gather the plants you may need in advance, allowing us to make the medicine together during the session.
This event is hosted by Eastside Projects as part of Extra Special People. Places are limited, and only open to members of the Kaleidoscope Network (including all NewBridge Members). To book a place email amelia@eastsideprojects.org
This event is programmed as part of The Kaleidoscope Network – a collaboration between Eastside Projects (Birmingham), Primary (Nottingham), Spike Island (Bristol) and The NewBridge Project (Newcastle). Formed in response to a need for mutual support, the network has come together as a way to share resources, increase what each partner is able to offer and create new connections between communities of artists. It also offers professional development for the associated partners learning from one another.
1-3pm
This event is accessed remotely online.
The NewBridge Project is supported by Arts Council England, Newcastle Culture Investment Fund, Newcastle University’s Institute for Creative Arts Practice and the North of Tyne Combined Authority.
