Emergent Ecologies is a series of five artist projects across South Yorkshire  that explore how our experiences of place — from wetlands and waterways to city centre streets — and of ourselves within them, are shaped with and by other beings**. 

Harun Morrison [1] will work with local people to repair, re-design and replant the garden at Sheffield Mind with combinations of herbs and flowers that can function as natural medicine and notes in perfumes. He will work with service-users to co-design garden furniture, wind-chimes, charms and new scents.

Harun conceives the garden as a site of collaboration between human and non human beings that inhabit its space. An accompanying programme of workshops and events will open up wider access to the garden for local communities and explore conversations around food, ecology and healing.

One of the event series connected to this project is Kitchen Club. [2]

Kitchen Club [3] brings together people who care about food including its circulation and production, to collectively reflect on what it means – culturally, socially and environmentally – to prepare, share and consume in the kitchen. Each month artists and cultural practitioners will share their practice connected to food, and engage participants in sensory experiences around a kitchen table.
