Capturing the Forest - Kristina Veasey and Alejandro Ahmed @ Battersea Arts Centre

Can the essence of the forest be captured and shared with those unable to access it?

Capturing the Forest is a powerful, multi-media immersive installation exploring access to nature for everyone who isn’t able to. Audiences will be treated to a magical unforgettable experience immersed in the essence of a forest landscape, merging sculpture, ceramics, sound, film and movement.

Artists Kristina Veasey (UK)  and Alejandro Ahmed (Brazil) have created a groundbreaking international collaboration with producers Between Time and Panorama Festival, bringing together disabled and non-disabled communities across the UK and Brazil in a unique, inclusive process exploring connection to nature through digital, physical and sensory design. A programme of in-person and remote workshops, forest visits, and downloadable resources extend the forest’s presence for all of us who yearn for nature connection.

‘Forest-being and forest-feeling from near and far. An unforgettable experience’.

‘Fed my senses in a beautiful way, immersing in the sounds, the dappled light, the breeze, the beautiful, sensuous colours and rhythms. Loved connecting to a forest way across the world as well as re-seeing the forest that I find all around me.’

‘A beautiful return to nature.’

‘I’m grateful for the care, the beautiful detail, and the sensory wonderland you have created.’
