Join artist Louise Beer and astronomer Richard Darn in this free workshop. Through talks and creative activities, they’ll work with you to explore your links to both the universe and Earth’s deep-time history through science and art.

You’ll be led through the story of how life on Earth began, from the Big Bang to today. From this learning, you’ll then be invited to creatively imagine Earth from a great distance whilst looking at the Moon or the night sky - and will have the opportunity to have your creations featured as part of the exhibition.

Louise uses installation, moving image, photography, audience participation works and sound to explore humanity's evolving understanding of Earth’s environments and the cosmos. Louise is currently artist in residence at the Institute of Astronomy, University of Cambridge, and is developing work for an exhibition at Everybody Arts in December 2025.

Richard sat on the working group that led to the designation of the Northumberland International Dark Sky Park and helped launch the Kielder Observatory. He continues to work with Northumberland Dark Sky Park and also the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors national parks, and was part of the team that gained international dark sky reserve status for both in 2020. He works with tourism businesses and has appeared on BBC Sky at Night and Stargazing Live and has numerous TV and radio appearances to his credit.
