About

A monthly gathering for artists, creatives, and the curious to explore the uncharted territories of imagination.

Guided by Daniel & Clara, each session unfolds around a new theme, inviting attendees into participatory exercises, immersive experiences, and collective discussion.

Sitting at the intersection of workshop, performance, and experimental space, the Lab encourages experimentation, challenges habitual thinking, and opens space for the unpredictable, playful, and untamed aspects of creativity.

It is a radical environment that celebrates the strange, messy, and complex dreaming creatures we are – inviting us to think differently, create more freely, and cultivate a wilder, more embodied connection with both the inner and outer worlds.

The second half of each session offers an open platform for participants to share work, test ideas, or try something new for the first time, fostering collaboration, curiosity, and collective discovery.

The Rewilding Imagination Lab sparks creative freedom, playful risk-taking, and new ways of thinking, feeling, and being.

About Daniel & Clara
Since meeting in 2010, artist Daniel & Clara have dedicated themselves to a shared life of creative experimentation, working across moving image, photography, performance and mail art to explore the nature of human experience, perception and reality.

Their current projects focus on the complex relationship between humans and the natural world, particularly exploring the climate crisis as a psychological crisis.

Their work has been exhibited and screened at Norwich Castle Museum (2025), Art Exchange, Colchester (2024), Focal Point Gallery, Southend (2021), By Art Matters, Hangzhou (2021), Rencontres Internationales Paris/Berlin, Grand Palais Paris & HKW Berlin (2020), Kettle's Yard, Cambridge (2019), Whitechapel Gallery, London (2019), Museu de Arte Moderna Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (2019). In 2025 they were a recipient of the Henry Moore Foundation Artists Award.
