SUMMARY:Phoebe Boswell: A Tree Says [In These Boughs The World Rustles]
DESCRIPTION:In this immersive new work\, the artist Phoebe Boswell inhab
 its Orleans House Gallery and its surrounding woodlands\, engaging the a
 udience in an intergenerational call and response\, where trees become r
 epositories of enquiry. Boswell creates space for us to raise our questi
 ons and listen to the voices of our elders as they endeavour to articula
 te life.\n\nWhat are the questions you have always wanted to ask? What a
 dvice do you need right now? What do you still need to know?\n\nTaking i
 nspiration from Hermann Hesse’s ‘Trees are Sanctuaries’\, the arti
 st gathered questions through an open call which became the basis of her
  interviews with a vast and global group of nominated elders: from a fre
 edom-loving feminist activist from Gorée\; to an Irish ex-nun turned ac
 tor\; to a Greek scientist with a passion for plants\; to a psychiatrist
  from Zimbabwe who engaged grandmothers in an ecosystem of care for his 
 community\; to the first Black woman to represent Britain at the Venice 
 Biennale.\n\nOwing to Boswell's interdisciplinary approach to making\, t
 hese recorded exchanges unfurl into an expansive and participatory inst
 allation of polyphonic soundscapes\, interactive sculpture\, site-respo
 nsive wall drawings\, intimate pencil studies\, looped videos\, and a ne
 w sonic collaboration with the internationally renowned free-improvising
  piano virtuoso Pat Thomas (Black Top\, Moor Mother). What results is a
  generative layering of form and language\, encouraging the audience to 
 spend time both inside the gallery and outside\, in nature.\n\nBoswell i
 nvites audiences to explore personal and collective strengths\, vulnerab
 ilities\, triumphs\, sorrows\, contradictions – rage and love\; knowns
  and unknowns\;  – through storytelling and the radical act of listen
 ing. The work is about memory\, history\, place\, and the importance of 
 intergenerational exchange. With delicate yet rigorous energy\, Boswell 
 transforms the site into both sanctuary and forum. Through the generous 
 recollections and contemplations of the elders\, visitors are invited to
  connect to lineages of language and be guided by the inherent knowledge
  of the natural world.\n\nA Tree Says has been made possible with genero
 us support from Arts Council England.\n\n&nbsp\;
