Connect deeply with urban surroundings through silence, mantra, and light
projections on a gentle dusk walk along the Regent’s Canal.
You are warmly invited to join artist Harri Harrison for and we walk, a silent, meditative
journey at twilight from IMT Gallery through Broadway Market, towards Victoria Park.
Experience the city anew, guided by quiet reflection and illuminated mantras that
transform everyday urban spaces into opportunities to witness and reflect upon
personal journeys and the spaces we inhabit.
As we walk, Harri’s personal mantras will softly illuminate local landmarks and
ordinary city furnishings, encouraging us to reconsider and reconnect with our shared
urban environment. These ephemeral projections stem from Harri’s ongoing body of
work, repeat after me, created using handheld text projectors and cyanotype prints.
Harri’s toolbox of grounding mantras invite us to explore deeper connections with one
another, the natural world, and our evolving concept of ‘home’.
We will begin our evening at IMT Gallery with a grounding meditation and herbal tea,
listening deeply to the heart of Bethnal Green, before stepping out to witness the city
through fresh eyes. The walk covers approximately 3 km along the canal towpath.
Please reach out if you have any questions or specific access needs.
This workshop offers a welcoming space to meet new people, enjoy gentle exercise,
and encourage conversations around home, communities, and the environment. We
invite you to slow down and connect with overlooked local spaces and create
personal mantras for personal growth.
All welcome! Concessions are available.
