Join artists Marcus Coates and Feral Practice for the fourth and final Ash Walk, part of a series of artists’ walks devised in collaboration with curator Rose Thompson, encouraging different ways of looking at and exploring the landscape in Kent.
Taking place in Folkestone, this participatory walk extended upon the artists’ Ask The Wild project, held at Whitechapel Gallery in February 2018, in which the artists asked: If birds could offer advice on human problems, what would they say?
They will also examine entrenched issues and thorny problems found in nature and, during this walk, unexpected pathways of creative thinking found in nature and everyday life, will be opened up.
They were joined on the walk by Tony Harwood, Resilience and Emergencies Manager for Kent County Council.
This event is delivered in partnership with The Ash Project – a cultural response to ash dieback, asking how we might mark and celebrate ash trees.
Supported by Heritage Lottery Fund, Arts Council England, Kent County Council, and the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The walk is free and open to all to attend, but as spaces are limited, we recommend booking in advance. Please note, this walk will be approximately two hours long and will take place through uneven countryside terrain.
