Ever felt lost in the urban grind of the city - and deliberately sought out green space for peace of mind? London's OpenArea seeks to help you creatively connect with a new programme.

Modern life can often feel disconnected from nature, while culture has a tendency to romanticise and gatekeep it. OpenArea, an evolving platform from the team behind flocktogether, seeks to remedy this by using nature as a material for inclusive storytelling.

Opening from 30th September at Camden's Camley Street Nature Reserve in London, OpenArea is launching a six-day programme. The nature reserve will be transformed from an empty green space into a site for creative exploration, including talks, live music performances, visual art, food and critical conversations.

Highlights include a live set from dub expert Lord Tusk, a bag-making workshop with designer Joel Wilson and a microbial dyeing workshop with Charlotte Werth.
