HENGE21- Settlement are looking for land artists to create site specific work to be exhibited in September 2021 during a collaborative multi disciplinary installation on site with the theme of Settlement. This is a unique opportunity for emerging and established artists to respond to the Dyke Hills and more specifically the meaning of the space. 

Following the success of HENGE19 which was a pilot, the main event is planned for September 2021. HENGE 21: Settlement will be a larger event, set in the Dyke Hills with contributions of drama, dance, performance, music and poetry. Visual artwork will be both live and online. 

The Henge Association is a community arts project whose objective is to engage local communities surrounding the Sinodun Hills and Dorchester-on-Thames with their ancient landscape heritage, and simultaneously emphasising issues of contemporary environmental conservation. The local landscape holds sites of significant Neolithic importance including a settlement on Fort Hill, the Dyke Hills earthworks, the sacred confluence of the Thames and Thame rivers, a Cursus flanked by burial grounds and the site of a double ring henge.
Artists will need to create work that can be on site for up to 1 week, this event takes place at twilight so ideas on illumination need to be included and details on use of materials that do not interfere or damage the landscape.
