About:
Gayle Chong Kwan is an award-winning multidisciplinary artist and academic, of Chinese/Mauritian and Scottish heritage, whose work is exhibited internationally in galleries and the public realm.
At this ‘Social Dreaming’ happening, we will walk among the stones and hear and share stories on dreaming and archaeology. Please be advised, this is an entirely outdoor event. There are several steps involved in the walking route, and good footwear is advised for uneven, grassy, ground (with sheep droppings).
