Lore of the Wild – Artist led walk

Listening to Lore of the Wild in Lesnes Abbey Woods

Join writers Sophie Austin and Bernadette Russell and let us take you on a wild walk through the ancient woodland of Lesnes Abbey Woods, a short walk from Abbey Wood train station in London.

On Sunday 26th March we will gather at 3pm to walk and listen to Lore of the Wild, our pre-recorded audio stories – magical and transporting tales from Crow, Fox, Fungi, Fire and even the wild wind herself.

We will listen on smartphones or via mp3 players and after each story there will be a moment to share some hopes and dreams for the Spring.

This will be the perfect opportunity to acknowledge the shifting seasons, bring friends, family or come on your own, for a calm, joyful breath of fresh air.

pedestrian acts

By de Certeau: In “Walking in the City”, de Certeau conceives pedestrianism as a practice that is performed in the public space, whose architecture and behavioural habits substantially determine the way we walk. For de Certeau, the spatial order “organises an ensemble of possibilities (e.g. by a place in which one can move) and interdictions (e.g. by a wall that prevents one from going further)” and the walker “actualises some of these possibilities” by performing within its rules and limitations. “In that way,” says de Certeau, “he makes them exist as well as emerge.” Thus, pedestrians, as they walk conforming to the possibilities that are brought about by the spatial order of the city, constantly repeat and re-produce that spatial order, in a way ensuring its continuity. But, a pedestrian could also invent other possibilities. According to de Certeau, “the crossing, drifting away, or improvisation of walking privilege, transform or abandon spatial elements.” Hence, the pedestrians could, to a certain extent, elude the discipline of the spatial order of the city. Instead of repeating and re-producing the possibilities that are allowed, they can deviate, digress, drift away, depart, contravene, disrupt, subvert, or resist them. These acts, as he calls them, are pedestrian acts.
