Folding and Singing with the Trees

A participatory event with Bloedel Creative Resident Byron Au Yong

Saturday July 30

3 -4:30 PM–Optional early arrival time

4:30-6 PM–Official event time

An in-person, socially distanced, outdoor participatory event with Bloedel Reserve Creative Resident Byron Au Yong.

Folding and Singing with the Trees is part of research for Forest Requiem, a musical initiative prompted by the environmental crisis and mourning rituals. Bring objects made from paper that hold meaning, such as a letter or book, that you are willing to transform into a folded sculpture. All ages welcome.

If you’d like to come early to explore listening and connecting with nature in preparation for the event, please email Amy Weber at aw****@bl************.org

Free with admission to Bloedel Reserve ($20).
