SUMMARY:Book Launch: The Feminist Art of Walking by Morag Rose
DESCRIPTION:Join walking artist, activist, and academic Morag Rose as she launches her fascinating new book, The Feminist Art of Walking. 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. Morag Rose is a walking artist activist and academic. She is the founder of the Loiterers Resistance Movement and a senior lecturer in Human Geography at the University of Liverpool. Her work focuses on public space, regeneration, access, equality, psychogeographies and the power of creative, communal walking. The conversation will be followed by an audience Q&A and a book signing.
