“Push Me Pull You “ is a walk in Herne Bay for the Terminalia Festival. This walk pushes the boundaries of space and time through actively engaging with listening to poetry and pulling our thoughts together through weaving.

Psychogeography is a form of playful walking that explores how places make us feel. Our walk begins by looking at a set of walking cards called A Refracted View. These are the cards with walking prompts made by East Kent Mencap members and artists from Thread and Word in 2020.

We will then listen to a reading of a poem. Our poem in February has been The Naming of Cats by TS Eliot . The walk with the poem and the cards gives us the opportunity to play with space and time.

We will enjoy a short walk ( weather dependant ) and listen to lines from the poem as we stop to look through the viewing cards from A Refracted View.

After our walk we will push the boundaries of writing as we weave with pegs to record how we feel . As our group is made up of adults with a learning disability who can’t read and write, we are taking this opportunity through the Terminalia festival to celebrate our crossing over of boundaries, moving from the written page to listening carefully and recording our experiences through weaving.
