A event held at Bookhaus on Sunday 26th October. The event starts at 17:00.
The allure of the city is powerful, but not universally accessible. For many women, it can be exclusionary, exploitative and dangerous. In The Feminist Art of Walking, Morag Rose shows how women can and do claim their place in the public space.
Setting off to explore cities and towns across Britain, she traces local histories and personal stories and attunes herself to the wider resonances of women’s rights amidst alienating capitalist cityscapes. Craving connection and comradeship, she discovers a unique and inclusive approach to walking, celebrating diverse women who transform walking into an art form and act of resistance.
By experiencing the pleasures and pains of pedestrian exploration, she shows us how to reconnect with and become enchanted by our streets.
The Feminist Art of Walking
- celebrates women who have transformed walking into powerful works of art and activism.
- shares fieldnotes from twenty years of creative wanders with psychogeographical collective The LRM (Loiterers Resistance Movement).
- makes a powerful argument for the importance of public space as it finds beauty and creativity on streets across the UK.
Join the author Morag Rose for a very special walk around Bristol bringing the book to life.
The tour will start at and last approximately 60 minutes. We will follow a route in the vicinity of BookHaus. The pace will be slow with frequent stops to share stories, and some of those stops will include places to sit down. We will then make our way back to the shop for a reading, Q+A and a book signing. Toilets are available in store and in Wapping Wharf. Refreshments will be available to buy at Little Victories. In case of extreme weather the event will go ahead in bookhaus with a reading instead of a walk. If you have any specific access needs or questions. please get in touch before the event and we will do our very best to accommodate you.
Tickets cost £7 and include a glass of wine or soft drink when you return, and £2 off the book. Presented by bookhaus.
