Join The Walking Reading Group for the second 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.
The Walking Reading Group (TWRG) is run by Lydia Ashman, Ania Bas and Simone Mair, and the group facilitates a knowledge exchange through the discussion of texts whilst walking.
On this walk, TWRG focused on care in relation to the environment, taking the ash dieback disease, which has now infected Ash trees across Kent, at the centre point of the discussion. Selected texts exploring the different ways we relate to the environment were provided to walkers and formed the basis for conversation during the walk.
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.
Meet opposite the Horsebridge Arts Centre at 14:00.
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 three hours long and will take place through uneven countryside terrain.
