Beyond Form: The Bird That Brings Hope: Building Interspecies Solidarity with Radha Patel
Sun 8 Jun 2025 to Sun 8 Jun 2025
The Bird That Brings Hope is a creative writing workshop following the story of the ‘Chitibuck’ - a blue feathered bird that lives on the Planet Luz. In the lore of our galaxy, its duty is to travel to other planets and collect the hopes of different species, and keep them in its stomach. When it dies, these hopes nourish the sacred ground beneath our feet. In 2025, the Chitibuck arrives in the UK.
Different folklore from around the world sees birds as guides, mentors and carriers of messages between the human realm and the underworld. So much of this has been lost to colonisation which only sees birds as commodities – to eat, to wear and so on.
The purpose of this workshop is to unravel human supremacy and to think about our connections with other species and our duty to each other.
Through a series of conversations, storytelling and creative writing exercises we'll welcome the bird and explore the question 'what is our duty to each other?'
