Greetings walkers and supporters!
Here is reminder of a date for your diaries. Sunday April 3 the next walkout on the enchantment! I saw the exhibition at Tate Britain the other week Artist and Empire very powerful...not hiding away those huge dramatic Empire era paintings..but providing another level of truth and engagement about the stories they tell. This in a way is what I am trying to do with the architecture of Bath and the River Avon landscape...find a way of both enjoying it but discovering traces and facing uncomfortable legacies and making sense of our times as we walk.
Anyway I do hope you will be able to join me on foot or online on Sunday April 3!
Walking from Bath to Bristol along the River Avon, Leaves 0900 from outside 44AD gallery by the Abbey in Bath. Please note an earlier start...this will be a full day of walking...back at Bath at station around 6....
About 16 miles or so to central Bristol. Nice pubs and spectacular scenery on the way.
This is a recce for part of the project I am developing around revealing, facing and making creative responses to the legacies of the Atlantic slave trade. On foot and online I hope you can help uncover the stories, find ways to tell them and generate contemporary resonances. Here's a link to the whole route but I propose to break it at Bristol and on another Sunday day walk up from Avonmouth to Bristol, and in Bristol walk the slavery trail. Seems a more appropriate direction of travel.....
