Getting into Hot Water

Getting into Hot Water is a long term social art project exploring water and climate in Dudley with aim to question the habitual ways by which we know water, stimulate dialogue regarding our relationship with water, engender a sense of curiosity and wonder, and create a change in ourselves. ​

Getting into Hot Water is designed so that local people can get involved as co-researchers, co-creators, participants and audience. We would like everyone who takes part, including ourselves to feel part of something that is actively engaged in finding out more, with other people and creatively doing something to make a change.​

We are starting by getting to know and appreciating water.

Getting into Hot Water is being led by Time Rebels Helen + Bill of Workshop24 and is part of Dudley People’s School of Climate Justice.

How you can join in

Workshop 24 will be hosting Monthly Water Walks, workshops, exhibitions and more.

Look out for dates being added to our calendar, which will also appear below. You can also follow Dudley People’s School for Climate Justice on Eventbrite, where there is a collection of Getting into Hot Water activities.

Field Works: You have to go away to come back

In Garbett and Laybourne’s Compendium of Aphorisms, Sayings and Terms, the entry on page eight reads “You have to go away to come back”. This is a phrase we use often and it means that even though our work is hyper-locally focused sometimes we need to head off, get away and wander further afield in search of different places, new experiences and inspiration. We bring back ideas, creative energy, artistic material and fresh ways of thinking.
