Apple day was launched in 1990 by Common Ground. The aspiration was to create a calendar custom, an autumn holiday. From the start, Apple Day was intended to be both a celebration and a demonstration of the variety we are in danger of losing, not simply in apples, but in the richness and diversity of landscape, ecology and culture too.
We will experience a performance by artist Camilla Nelson, we’ll hear some music from Nina Harries. We will also be collecting the apple harvest and pressing fresh apple juice. It is a working food growing site and will be chilly so please wear shoes that will keep your feet dry and clothes that are comfortable and warm.
Camilla Nelson is a British language artist, small press publisher, creative programmer and freelance academic. Her work explores the materiality of language in page-based poetry, soundwork, installation and performance. Over the last 5 years she has published, installed, exhibited and performed her work in Palestine, Czech Republic, Germany, Belgium, Ireland, Canada, Australia and the US.
