What we’re about
Come join us for this fascinating and fun short guided creative walk and workshop in Hook. The short walk, which begins and ends at the Hook Centre, will involve our walking and reading together. We’ll read extracts from diverse literary texts, including ones by local writers or which have been directly inspired by or connect in interesting ways with Hook’s environment and history. Then, through a creative mapmaking workshop, we’ll explore how the experience of reading this literary material in situ might allow us to express some of our feelings about and hopes for our immediate surroundings.
‘Reading the Road’ is a collaboration between staff at Kingston School of Art and the Kingston-based community organisation The Community Brain. Our event is part of the UK-wide Being Human Festival (https://www.beinghumanfestival.org/), which celebrates how the humanities inspire and enrich our everyday lives.
