It all starts with a scroll, a long sheet of blank white paper on which we begin to draw.
Our drawing draws something else - an audience of spectators who are invited to sit down with us and become artists alongside us.
Over several hours the scroll takes shape through talking, drawing and writing together.
From these chance collaborations we develop networks, events, projects, myths, stories, ideas
Gathering around the scroll moves from simple playful activity…
to conversation and memory-sharing….
to stronger social connections…
to transformed perceptions of the library as a living community space.
Scroll stories, unending
As the trees grow, a forest forms
A silent corner, the harmonium plays
The story begins, a story unending
Echoing melodies, voyagers of sea; of space
Unroll the scroll, beneath the ocean
The lion swims, fishes gather
Who tells the story?
Who listens and who is heard?
Vastness of these tales, the ocean contains
Holder a memory and myth, like a library
Where the roots connect
The hands of nature, and all that is alive
A myth unfolds, unrolling, limitless
Splashes of energy, hues of chaos
Travellers arrive, the forest expands
Conversations begin, stories exchanged, stories unending.
