Thanks to everyone who came along to Candlemaker Row today. We wanted to make a space in which to re-imagine the street & discover new ways to use it traffic-free. To see the place filled with children playing, people stopping to sit and talk & bask in the sun was such a joy!

Our contribution is an invitation to look afresh at the wonderful qualities of Candlemaker Row and use the interactive installation we’ve created to imagine the street not asa thoroughfare but as a place to linger, gather and play.

Tayos is a place of timelessness. No sunlight to mark the day’s passage. In the dark the cares of urban life slip away, leaving space to dream and envision. Just one of the many reasons why natural spaces like Tayos are so valuable and deserve our reverence. 📷 by @eoin_carey

For the Shuar the cave is a place to meet the spirits & in the silence & dark, listen for their guidance. It is a belief on caves found the world over. What makes caves such powerful sites for human understanding? And what do we take with us when we emerge into the light? .

Experiencing a world apart has rendered all the details of our familiar surroundings new. We are all still carrying the sounds and light of the rainforest with us but how to describe the beauty of this place and the subtle ways in which it has shifted our perspectives?

Our latest project is about to start in earnest! For more on how we are combining art, music, photography, film and neuroscience for conservation head over to @Tayos_Art where you can follow our journey deep into the Ecuadorian rainforest.

In exactly 2 weeks time we will be entering the Tayos Cave! Descent is via a 65m abseil & from the point our feet touch the floor of the chamber we will be 4 days in the darkness; exploring, camping and cooking in the cave alongside the many species which call Tayos their home.
