Small Acts x The Convivial

By November 7, 2024 Events, News

We’re delighted to be guest speakers at The Convivial on Thursday 21st November in Penryn. Curated by Sophie Craven, The Convivial is a new series of talks designed to bring people together to share food, knowledge, ideas and inspiration, contributing to a conversation about what it means to live well in the world today.

Bringing glimmers of light to the dark season, each evening’s talk offers a portal or an opening into a more nourishing and imaginative world. Other talks in the series look at performance art + discomfort, the moon + merrymaking, sociable solitude, peer support + mental health and climate change + the future of wine.

People, Place and Porosity: Eight Small Acts

Eight objects, eight stories, eight small acts of resilience, connection, magic, resistance and joy. In this talk Katie Etheridge and Simon Persighetti open a series of doors into ways of creatively exploring the deep, fascinating, complex and sometimes contradictory interrelationships between people and places.

Art objects and souvenirs from a selection of Small Acts projects will illustrate eight micro interventions that feed the imagination, spark new connections, invite participation and pose the question; how can small acts make a big difference?

 

Thursday 21st November 6pm – 10pm

Three of Cups Vintage, 20 Lower Market Street Penryn TR10 8BG

Cost: Pay what you can £0 – £20          Book on Eventbrite
