Wainwright: Creative Mapping Workshop with Jessica Emsley
Join artist, Jessica Emsley for a walking art workshop. Together, we’ll explore the creative possibilities of mapping a walk, creating our own subjective maps through sketching and writing whilst on foot and developing these on our return to the Armitt. Inspired by Wainwright’s meticulous recording of his Lakeland walks, we’ll create both a shared record

• Project Qafila is a transdisciplinary research platform developed by Marsad Drâa that explores the historical and contemporary significance of Saharan caravan routes. The project aims to investigate nomadic ways of life, trace caravan routes used from the 8th to the 20th centuries, and analyze the caravan heritage within the context of today’s Sahara Desert.
Caravans historically facilitated trade between North Africa, Europe, and sub-Saharan regions, with routes shaped by political conditions, tribal relations, droughts, and goods production. These routes were not only vital for commerce but also for the exchange of culture, knowledge, and traditions that have influenced contemporary cultures across the Sahara and beyond.
In Morocco, remnants of caravan culture can still be seen in Southern tribes’ music, dances, and nomadic practices. Many of these routes, however, are now closed due to regional conflicts, such as the Moroccan-Algerian border dispute. Additionally, nomadic families continue to traverse these ancient paths, adapting their movements based on water availability and seasonal changes.
Project Qafila involves fieldwork with nomadic families, collecting testimonies and insights on nomadism, desert life, and the future of Saharan societies, while also considering the geopolitical challenges that now impact these ancient routes.
