Artbomb Festival
Don Catchment Rivers Trust is a partner of this year’s Artbomb Festival in Doncaster, where local to international artists have been exploring research questions relating to the themes of water, rivers, land-use, climate-change, rewilding and alternative ecologies! There’s so much to get involved with over the weekend with exhibitions from some fantastic creatives, so make sure to check out the programme (click here) and get yourself booked on for some events.
We are most looking forward to Inari Wishiki’s performance at Hexthorpe Rowing Club, involving a hand-made coracle that will cross the river (click here to book) and spotting Chris Dobrowolski’s rickshaw made out of river Don rubbish. You’ll also find us at the Step & Stoop outdoor conversations on Saturday in the town centre, plus much more!
