MAKING CREATION
CREATION exists to enchant powers of collective creativity and cooperative decision-making.
The flexible, dynamic workshop model employed to devise the elements of CREATION have involved strangers and friends, built contingent communities and surprised all participants with their aggregate brilliance.
The CREATION project centres marginalised voices in all its aspects, making workshops accessible and enjoyable as a practice of communal commitment to shared labours and public pleasures.
Planned workshops to date include song arrangement, reading groups, gardening, sacramental food preparation, devising a procession, making new rituals, and the development of CREATION’s prayers and precepts.
