Imagining Life Underground Workshop Action shots

‘‘Over two days young families were busy making their own underground creatures with hand-coloured air drying clay. Together, we thought about creatures and where they live, what they eat, and each wrote a letter of a favourite memory to feed back to the soil for the creatures to keep safe. Together we dug around in a pile of soil, discovering what lay underneath - shiny clay worms, colourful beetle heads and wings. As we dug around we also heard the reverberant and strange echoes the soil made, thanks to contact mics and sound made with Sara Wolff

This workshop was inspired by a sound piece made by DARC collective, created for the Liverpool Biennial 2025. DARCH is a collective of practice by Unulkhayr & Radha Patel. ‘‘ - At The Libraries

Activity Sheet

As part of the workshop’s development, a bespoke worksheet was created for the young participants to engage with, featuring questions as prompts, games and spaces for their own creativity and reflections on the ideas explored within the session.
