Dieu Donné’s Open Houses are an opportunity to explore our professional papermaking studios, view artwork and didactics from our archive, engage with peers, and learn from inspiring talks. Each evening will include a tour of the Dieu Donné facilities and a talk from a featured artist or curator. Our autumn Open House will feature Alejandra Arias Sevila, 2024 Marabeth Cohen-Tyler Print/Paper Fellow. All Open Houses include an artist talk and a tour of the Dieu Donné gallery and studio. Alejandra's artistic practice is founded in printmaking, seeing it as a series of translations through loss, addition, and deformation. She often uses limitations as guidelines to expand on wonderment and investigation in her art and process. Enthralled by the relationship between translation and shadow, her recent works in paper explore the semiotics of wrought iron guards, text, and the color blue. Open Houses are ticketed due to limited space in our facility. Please reach out if you have any questions about accessibility or need to cancel your registration to Hannah Katz, Grants & Education Manager, at hkatz@dieudonne.org.

Stranger Collective presents: FIRELIGHT: WORDS ON FIRESunlight on water, a warm glow in a woodland glade. Sparks of inspiration, good food, conversation and connection. We're burning with excitement to announce that Firelight is FINALLY back this June, after a three-year hiatus gently smouldering in the shadows. And it's back blazing, with a brilliant line-up of speakers spanning film, literature, surf activism, podcasting and journalism, who'll be sharing insights, ideas and experience to explore how a word after a word after word is power (Margaret Atwood). Catch the ferry across the water from Falmouth to this summer's location at the beautiful Trefusis Estate, with a quick swim on Flushing beach before we wander up through the woods to gather around the flames. Come together or venture out on your own – Firelight is welcoming, relaxed, lo-fi and unplugged. About FirelightStranger Collective first lit the fire in 2016 and it's spread from there, roving around different locations across Cornwall including Spargo, Potager, Kudhva, Gweek Boatyard Café and the last one at Bream Cove/ Meudon Hotel, called At Last Light, in 2022. We’ll be welcoming four incredible speakers to share their insights, stories and inspirations around the flickering flames: SPEAKERSLiv Little Liv is a writer whose work spans journalism, books, audio, TV and curatorial projects. Her debut novel Rosewater was published in 2023 by Dialogue Books in the UK and John Legend’s imprint Get Lifted in the US. Liv’s first short film, BUMPED, was picked up and made by BBC film. She's also currently developing an original show with Left Bank. Her debut feature film is in development with the BBC and Parkville, she's writing on season two of a romantic comedy, and has worked in Writers' Rooms for See Saw, Left Bank and 42. Before jumping into film & TV, Liv was the founder and CEO of gal-dem magazine. She's worked in commissioning at BBC Digital, directed multiple creative videos and been executive producer for projects with both Channel 4 and the BBC. She currently presents the podcast Why I…Move in collaboration with Nike and Elle magazine, and has fronted projects for brands including Absolut, Squarespace, Links of London, MAC and Google. Demi Taylor and Chris Nelson Demi and Chris are currently touring their film The Big Sea, which exposes the true cost of surfing and the toxic neoprene industry. It has had global screenings, including at the Kendal Mountain Film Festival, the Bilbao Surf Film Festival and the International Ocean Film Festival. Demi and Chris (otherwise known as Approaching Lines) have made a career as megaphones for the stories that matter. For the past two decades, they’ve given life to big ideas in print, on screen and in person. Their books on surfing and travel, documentaries about youth culture’s pioneers, and development of the London Surf Film Festival (now in its 14th year) put their passions front and centre, with impressive results. Jodie Matthews Jodie is a Cornish writer and poet, currently living in the north. Her first novel Meet Me at the Surface was shortlisted for the Bath Novel Awards 2021 and the Blue Pencil First Novel Awards 2021 before being published by 4th Estate in 2024 to rave reviews.
