After three days travel up river we arrived in São Pedro to begin workshops on drawing, colour and clay. I’m incredibly grateful for the generous support of the Frederick Soddy Trust Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) and Royal Scottish Academy for allowing me and the community here to develop this work.

Delighted to be part of this and especially to see the feather ornaments be assembled, activated and performed!
