The double meaning of ‘Thinking Forest’ points to both the natural wisdom of the forest as an ecosystem and a place to think, reflect and learn; an organic model for the development and the spreading of seedling ideas.

Each year Thinking Forest invites an artist to explore the rich ecology of Welna through their work, considering the place of humans in the living world. How can we, as human animals, reconnect with that world? And how do we find a balance between utilizing and leaving nature untouched?

Throughout the year we invite our audience into our forest. Exhibitions, talks, workshops and dinners, all taking place under the canopy of Welna's forest. Look back into our archive, or keep an eye out for our next event.
