SAW Reflects
SAW Reflects are events at SAW where we gather to reflect, either on our exhibition programme or the wider world. Over food and discussion we dive into how an art work or occasion relates to ourselves, our world and our beliefs. It’s a relaxed space open to all, with the hope of providing a bit of creative nourishment, space to think and ‘be’.
Upcoming Sessions
Playing Out Project Launch
Join us as we eat together, chat and respond to the Playing Out exhibition by making our mark on the gallery walls.
Everyone welcome. Please advise us of you have any dietary requirements.
This event is a collaboration between Playing Out, Craft Action Collective & SAW Reflects
Harvest Festival
Join us for local food, live music, craft and a time of thanksgiving. You are invited to Shieldfield Grows’ annual Harvest Festival. Feel free to bring along some food to share at the feast. All children must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
12pm – 3pm.
When looking at a particular artwork or exhibition at SAW Reflects, we consider how the work and its themes relate to ourselves, our world and our beliefs. Through informal conversation with the artists involved and with each other, we explore the works on a deeper level in a way that can benefit both the audience and the artist in understanding what has been created, the thinking behind it and how it fits within our worldviews.
As part of SAW Reflects, we also celebrate or mark traditions for seasonal occasions like Harvest Festival, Posada (a fun and thought-provoking nativity activity during the Advent season), a Passover or celebratory meal at Easter. These will be times to reflect on and celebrate marked events in our calendar year or a chance to respond to and process world events with each other.
“Always feel good after a SAW event. It is probably a mix of doing something different, reflecting on creativity and the whole positive energy that pervades SAW without being overbearing“
