Dorset National Landscape in partnership with Activate Performing Arts is featuring as a hub for a £2million national project.
The art project focuses on all forms of art, utilising nature as a form of inspiration.
Including Dorset, Nature calling will bring together 34 National Landscapes across England, with individuals to come together in different areas of England to explore their local area to gain inspiration and create different pieces of art work.
The commissioned artists for Dorset are: Louisa Adjoa Parker, a writer of English-Ghanaian heritage and Becca Gill, an artist and producer, both of which are from the south West.
Louisa Adjoa Parker said: ‘‘I’m delighted to have been commissioned as the Dorset writer for Nature Calling. I’m looking forward to hearing local people’s stories about life in Dorset, and their connections with the local landscape.”
Becca Gill added: “The project Consequences isn’t just meaningful—it’s fun, aiming to captivate a broad audience and draw attention to our natural and sacred sites.”
