Owen Griffiths is a social practice artist working with food systems, land use and collaborative processes. Across events, rituals, curating, making gardens, codesigning spaces, cooking feasts, community workshops and facilitation, his work explores social justice and place, calling for radical futures to be co-imaged and developed through culture and community. Owen is the Founder and Director of Ways of Working, a social enterprise for community development, climate justice and empowerment.
Idle Women is an arts, environment and social justice collaboration founded in 2015. Their projects reach for something beyond the horizon, creating transformative spaces for women that can't be cut, closed or taken away. Their first endeavour was to build and tour NB Selina Cooper with women living in a specialist domestic violence refuge. Touring this boat along the canals of the Northwest affirmed the extent to which women's access and safety is always precarious and how fundamentally intertwined the roots of violence against women and the environment are. Currently, they are building a Physic Garden which sits alongside the canal on a permanent site owned by Idle Women and Humraaz Support Services in Nelson, Lancashire.
