Scents of Solastalgia: An Eco-Sensory workshop with Tarsh Bates

Join researcher Tarsh Bates to share your memories and experiences of the smells in your environments and explore tools for understanding how smell connects with your feelings about environmental change.

Aromas are everywhere and affect us and the life around us in ways that words can't describe. Changes in the smells of the world around us can have a significant impact on how we feel physically and emotionally but we don’t usually notice unless it smells bad. Construction and climate change cause some of the biggest changes at the moment, but we don’t have a lot of control over these. Finding ways to create new smellscapes can help us feel more connected to the life around us and more empowered to create positive change.

Register here. The workshop is free, but registration is mandatory. Teenagers and adults are welcome but the workshop is not suitable for children.
