Making Space: Between Walking and Making

Join collaborative artists Abigail Hunt and Kieren Reed for their guided walk Between Walking and Making. This walk was aimed specifically at people aged 18 - 25 though it can be enjoyed by people of all ages. For this guided walk they will be leading you on a route that will explore site specific responses to the built environment, which will include a range of creative activities including drawing, large scale collaborative mark making and casting. Please take note of the art materials listed on the accompanying guided map that you will need before beginning your walk.

The walk is approximately 3.8 km and will take an average of 3 hours to complete. The podcast is 53 minutes long. As the walk is longer than the length of the podcast, just press play at each of the stops on the map to hear more about this fascinating and ever evolving area of London. This audio tour was recorded live on 13 November 2021 and has subsequently been made into a self-guided podcast to be used together with the accompanying downloadable map. This walk, including the content and information is the opinion of the artist.
