Collaborating between Brazil and the UK, Kristina Veasey and Alejandro Ahmed create immersive performances.
Together they explore and capture the experience of forest, using call and response, mirroring birds calling to each other.
They share their perspectives and their different artforms (visual arts and movement). Online and in-person audiences can ‘enter’ the forest using interactive technology. Presented by In Between Time(UK) and supported by the Attenborough Centre for Creative Arts (UK) and Panorama Festival (Brazil). This Unlimited International Partner Award 2023 commission is made possible with support from Arts Council England and the British Council.
The Research & Development phase of this project sits well with Kristina’s Slow Art approach to her practice. This intensely layered and in-depth approach is well documented with artwork and blog updates on Instagram.

Connecting forests and audiences
Forest Connection Kits
Capturing The Forest is starting conversations with people about their connection to forests. These conversations help inform our creative work and give us insight into different perspectives. The gifting of Forest Connection Kits aims to start this dialogue and bring participants a greater sense of connection with the Forest, particularly when they are unable to leave their own homes.
