MAY BE ON THE MOORS #1

Mark-making walks on the moors, every Sunday afternoon in May led by artist and PhD research Neil Greenhalgh.

Holcombe Moor is a wilderness punctuated with artefacts, stories, and lore. MAY BE ON THE MOORS is a new collaborative project that delves into the particularities of this landscape through walking, mark-making, and co-creating with more-than-human energies.

Building upon what THE FINAL FRIDAYS begun, this project continues to define the emerging practice of Geohauntography: An hauntology of place.

We will meet whatever the weather. Prepare for quite a long walk in challenging terrain with no amenities. All art materials will be provided. No previous experience or artistic ability is required.

The walk might not end exactly at 5pm. Could be earlier or slightly later.

We will end at the local pub The Shoulder of Mutton, for a post walk debrief.

stroam

Do you like to stroll? Are you a fan of roaming? Then you should give stroaming a try. This is a word blend, just like brunch. In her 1796 novel Camilla, Frances Burney described a character who “stroamed into the ball-room, with the most visible marks of his unfitness for appearing in it.” The OED indicates that stroaming involves “long strides” and/or idleness, so watch your form and attitude when out on a stroam. Credits to Mark Peters.
