Community Ecologies - 'The Case of the Quiet Pond' by Bonnie Wang

2.00pm – 3.30pm
Sat 10 October 2026

Join Bonnie Wang for a playful murder-mystery roleplay and interspecies assembly set in Bethnal Green Nature Reserve.

Take on a more-than-human role - bee, bat, newt, fungus, nettle and more - then investigate why the pond has gone quiet in midsummer. Gather clues across the reserve, build a cause-web of climate and urban pressures, and join a Council of All Beings to craft a collective Care Pact for the site.

 

Date & Time: 2pm - 3:30pm  Saturday, 10th October 2026

Location: Bethnal Green Nature Reserve, Middleton Street, E2 9RR 

Cost: Free 

Please sign up using this link (places are limited to 15)

Meeting Point: Bethnal Green Nature Reserve entrance on Middleton Street

Registered participants will receive their role and briefing by email before the session.
