The Renewal Domes | Woodford, 2023-24

For many years Woodford has culminated in the fire event heralding in a new year. In the face of the growing climate crisis this year’s event was reimagined as the ‘Renewal’.

Cave Urban collaborated with Linsey Pollak and Mark Bromilow to create a village of dreams. The Cave Urban team taught Woodfordia volunteers how to weave domes at different scales, creating 30 domes that range from 2m - 9m. The domes were then transported through a ceremonial processing with an Elder and Lindsey Pollak.

Thank you to Linsay Pollock for preparing this YouTube video capturing the Build and Ceremonial Process of the ‘Renewal’ Closing Ceremony Domes
