Clearing 1
Climate Change Myth Buster at 12.30, 2.00pm and 3.30pm
An interactive performance installation engaging in conversation around climate change, debunking some myths along the way
Civil de-isolating exercise (or playful group walk) at 1.15, 2.45 and 4.00pm
You are invited to take part in a participatory group walk in Drinkwater Park to play on the site/remains of the Irwell house (also known as the Isolation hospital). This WON’T be a history lesson, but a chance to walk/play using prompts (being as involved as you feel comfortable). P.S. Don’t be scared by the strange title, it’s just a reference that will be explained on the walk.
Walks created/facilitated by Rik Fisher. Rik is a Berlin based artist who (among other things) explores the potentials of walk/play approaches as a way to connect, question and more. Instagram: @rik.fisher
