2023 Stage of Possibility Publication

At the end of 2023, Youth Landscapers met as a group to design a publication reflecting the experience of creating, curating, and running The Stage of Possibility at Timber Festival. We collaged and layered our inspirational heritage images, documentation of members working and snacking behind the scenes, original drawings, and photos of time at the festival itself. The result is a vibrant collection of memories and salute to collaboration. The original risograph publication was launched at Moira’s The Magic Attic 7 December 2023 for YLC members and our collaborators and partners. But now you, too, can flip through a digital version below.

We were happy to see collaborators and partners Tom Phillips, The Coaltits, Coalville CAN, WRENNE, Jo Kirkwood, David the Bee Farmer (from our 2021 Telling of the Bees project) at our December publication launch. The Coaltits treated us to a performance and a peak at their song books.

Thank you to Silly Gooze Editions for printing our physical risograph booklet.

Many thanks to our funders this year. The Stage of Possibility project was made possible with support from Arts Council England, The Heritage Fund, Community Lottery Fund, Derbyshire County Council, The National Forest and East Midlands Airport Community Fund.
