On the first Saturday of each month Abbas Zahedi hosts a support group for the collective processing of ecological grief. In collaboration with thinkers, artists and musicians, participants are invited to consider聽鈥楬ow can we make sense of a world increasingly shaped by loss and disconnection?鈥.
The discussions take place in a new commission entitled聽Begin Again.聽As part of the installation, instruments and playback devices have been plugged into 黑料社鈥檚 utility pipes and deeper architecture. The sound composition shifts between moments of harmony and disintegration. Each sonic collapse prompts the piece to rebuild, emphasising the power of renewal and beginning again.
The commission creates a space for collective listening and discussion where participants can reflect on how to protect and restore ecological connectivity.
Begin聽Again聽is part of the exhibition Gathering Ground聽which explores threatened ecologies.
