Featured Events in Cano in July, 2025 (July Updated)

Gifts from the Land is a series of workshops led by Scotland-based artists and craftspeople sharing with you their carefully developed knowledge on working with natural materials – inviting you to grow your creative practice and connect more deeply with the land around you. Join artist and researcher Dr. Désirée Coral for an afternoon at St Andrews Botanic Garden, where we will explore the practice of harvesting local sea salt which can be used for artistic and culinary purposes. Salt holds many meanings. It represents what remains after change, as water shifts state. It preserves, carries memory, and offers culinary pleasure. And yet, it can also poison us, as we get addicted to its taste, and salinity threatens our soil and fresh water. In that sense, salt reminds us of the importance of balance. Harvesting it allows us to engage in a dialogue with elemental forces, sun, water and time, unfolding in the processes of evaporation, accumulation and practices of sharing and creating. About the Artist Désirée Coral is an artist who received her Doctoral degree from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design at the University of Dundee in Scotland in 2024, and her MFA degree from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2018. Her work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally with selected institutions including The Tignous Centre for the Arts, Forgan Arts Centre, and CCA Glasgow. Désirée's artistic exploration and research delves into the captivating realm of early global exchanges from the Americas to the rest of the world and vice versa, using a decolonial lens to understand the contemporary relationships between humans, inter-species, and the various notions of landscapes. The Living Table The Living Table is an ongoing project that invites people to share food and have conversations about food at Forgan Arts Centre in Newport-on-Tay, Scotland. Monthly events create opportunities for discussion, learning, cooking, eating, and growing. Led by the G.R.E.E.N. Artist in Residence Désirée Coral Guerra, Living Table is inspired by the life that grows around a table: from the life of insects that pollinate crops to the cultural and political life made manifest in recipes, traditions, and dinner table habits; from micro-organisms to human-migration. ​The project will play out over several months, and each month, we focus on one ingredient, for example, honey, edible flowers, or potatoes. Each month we will hear from guest artists, experts and prepare and share a meal together. For more information, see https://www.desireecoral.com/.

An Anatomy of Mars Mars is intrinsic to our history, culture, and geopolitics, in addition to being a frontier of ongoing scientific discovery. In the absence of human exploration, our understanding of Mars is forged from spacecraft interactions and comparison to Earth-based geological and biological analogues. Over the past six decades, this terrestrial referencing has made Mars into our most familiar world beyond the Earth-Moon system. Cousins will discuss her collaboration with artist Ilana Halperin and art historian Catriona McAra to explore how these paired martian and terrestrial landscapes can provide an intimate and corporeal narrative of Mars as a living, geological body with deep human and curatorial relevance. Using artistic conceptualisation and visual interpretation, we explore these landscapes and their relation to planetary habitability and deep time in human terms, by merging contemporary artistic practice in colour, materiality, and sculpture with scientific techniques in Mars imaging, geology, and geomicrobiology. About the Speaker ClaireCousins is a planetary scientist, who uses field analogues and experimental research to develop the science and technology related to current and future robotic space missions within our Solar System, namely to Mars and the icy moons Europa and Enceladus. She is especially interested in how planetary conditions can support biology, and she is involved in the European Space Agency ExoMars Rosalind Franklin Rover. She is currently collaborating with artists and academics to explore the interface between contemporary art and Mars science. Join us for a series of lunchtime talks with researchers, thinkers, artists, creatives, and like-minded individuals. Over the coming twelve months, we invite you to a menu of fascinating ideas over lunch. Weather permitting, we’ll gather outdoors to nourish our minds in the open air, with indoor spaces available should we need shelter. In the first four talks, we’ll explore the rhythms of nature – from seasonal cycles to geological developments and the forces that shape life on our world and beyond. Together, we’ll consider how changes at various scales reflect the broader ecological crisis and explore ways to engage with these shifts, both practically and imaginatively. We are delighted to be joined by David Farrier, Michelle Bastian, Claire Cousins, and Anne Magurran. Coffee, tea, and water will be available, with sandwiches for pre-order at the Visitor Centre. Free for St Andrews Botanic Garden Friends Members, £3 for visitors Information Source: St Andrews Botanic Garden | eventbrite
