Cancelled | The Feeling’s Mutual
Workshop hosted by Ayesha Jordan
To live is to be supported. The Feeling’s Mutual is a workshop grounded in exchange and care. We dive into mutualism and look at how it shapes our lives. We will explore how mutualism is practiced and experienced by different living beings, through breath, sound, and conversation. What does conscious care look like? How does it create space for rest? What does it look like to trust another, and how does that enhance our quality of life?

About the event
Do you have any memories of collecting wild flowers, daisies, dandelions or buttercups, and watching bees or flies flitting between them and crawling over the yellow pollen in the centre? This is a prime example of mutualism, where the insects get feed from the pollen and nectar in the flowers, and the flowers and plants are pollinated so they can produce seeds.
This workshop invites Black folks of all ages to come together and explore rest as a space of safety and support.
Please come with an open mind, and a willingness to engage in exchange with other kin in our ecological community.
The five gatherings that are part of The Fallow Year reflect on the exhaustion that can accompany having marginalised stories, and by creating space for people with shared experiences, identities or backgrounds, explore how community can offer moments of restoration and belonging.
About the host
Ayesha Jordan is a multidisciplinary performance-based artist and creator. Most recently, alongside her collaborators, she has been developing a new project entitled Shasta Geaux Pop presents: Shasta Greaux Crops. She was awarded a Princeton Hodder Fellowship to support the development of this work. Her research has been based in applied permaculture studies, regenerative community/ecosystem formation and adaptation, event curation, and how these can be explored through performance, or how they can inform performance methodologies. Ayesha's artistic pursuits extend beyond conventional boundaries, intentionally amplifying marginalized voices, especially from the global majority and disenfranchised communities. Her work encompasses themes such as ritual-making, multigenerational knowledge and exploration, archives, legacy, and collaborative and cooperative modes of production.
