\"Artist<\/a><\/p>\n

A collaborative project with the School of Music and Fine Art and the 2016 Whitstable Biennale has produced an innovative series of Four\u00a0Artist Walks, which aim to test the proposition that a walking journey with an artist could be as valuable as hearing them\u00a0address a lecture theatre, and that sharing a range of sights and sounds could reveal something that slides and video clips do\u00a0not.<\/p>\n

Information about the artists and the politics, history and imaginative potential of the landscape being walked through will be disseminated before\/after in a document in order to keep the walk itself as \u2018present\u2019 as possible.\u00a0 Walkers will be invited to mix and mingle during the walks, with an emphasis on informal conversation. Midway through the walks, students will present a set of questions to the artists which later will be collated, with the artists\u2019 responses, in the Whitstable Biennale\u2019s online journal.<\/p>\n

Each route will culminate at a point along the Medway estuary or\u00a0river Swale, forming a string of reference points between which the connections between the walks can be contemplated.<\/p>\n

Walk 2, on Saturday 27th February, 10:15am\u20141pm approx, with\u00a0Ruth Ewan<\/strong>, will take in Kingsferry Bridge, Iwade, Ridham Dock and the strange “elephants’ graveyard” of decaying Thames barges in the mouth of the Medway. The walk will start and end at Swale Station. An artist\u2019s pamphlet will be provided to each walker.<\/p>\n

Booking:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Places on the walks (priced at \u00a35 per person: \u00a0All participants will receive an artist\u2019s pamphlet from Ruth Ewan) are limited and can be booked, on a first come, first served basis, here via https:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/e\/artist-walks-ruth-ewan-tickets-21223515105?ref=elink<\/a><\/p>\n

Notes for walkers:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The walks will be largely off-road. Participants are recommended to wear waterproof walking boots and warm outdoor clothing. Please also note that access to drinking water and toilet facilities will be limited.<\/p>\n
