SAW Reflects
SAW Reflects are events at SAW where we gather to reflect, either on our exhibition programme or the wider world. Over food and discussion we dive into how an art work or occasion relates to ourselves, our world and our beliefs. It’s a relaxed space open to all, with the hope of providing a bit of creative nourishment, space to think and ‘be’.
What to expect: SAW Reflects evenings usually start in the Workshop room at SAW where we serve soup, bread and drinks and have time to chat to one another. We then move into the gallery to look at the exhibition on at SAW, later getting into groups or discussing as one big group our thoughts and reactions to the work, considering any questions that may have been prepared by the artists involved or the SAW team.
SAW is currently considering how, for an extended period of time, we shape our entire programme (gallery exhibitions and regular groups) around exploring the importance of rest and rhythm. We are naming this season/programme ‘Creating Fallow’.
As part of Creating Fallow, SAW Reflects will first be delving into SAW’s archives to revisit and reconsider past reflective activities held at SAW, with the intention of making these available either as events we hold in person, or as resources to be accessed online or from SAW’s garden and building. Watch this space to see news of how we might reflect together as part of Creating Fallow.
In the new year, SAW Reflects events will be held in the usual format to reflect on the Take Over series of exhibitions at SAW.
“Always feel good after a SAW event. It is probably a mix of doing something different, reflecting on creativity and the whole positive energy that pervades SAW without being overbearing“
