A film screening with live music, poetry reading and art exhibition exploring the connections between land, nature, people and flooding, in the Museum’s Walled Garden Pavilion.

Antony Lyons will show the film-poem ‘Fluid Forests - an ecological symphony’. This is an atmospheric, immersive work exploring some timeless watery habitats in the Stroud Valleys. For this premiere of the work, it will be accompanied by an improvised live music score performed by the Fantastic Future-Scapes project.

Adam Horovitz will read newly commissioned poems relating to nature-based approaches to reducing flood risk in the Stroud Valleys. 

Joe Magee and Chris Uttley (Stroud District Council) present an exhibition of original artwork from the graphic story ‘Sound of a River’, which tells the story of a young Stroud resident’s journey of discovery after the flooding of her home. 

The collection is inspired and part funded by Stroud District Council’s Stroud Valleys Natural Flood Management project, which works collaboratively to reduce flood risk, improve water quality and restore nature in the Stroud Valleys

The film runs for 30 minutes.
