A Walk in the Park with Lora Aziz

Take a break and join us for a nature walk!

Join us for a walk around Wivenhoe Park with Lora Aziz who will tell us about the flower and fauna while unearthing folkloric and colonial histories amongst the trees. Lora will shed light on the impact of European grand tours and the traces of these expeditions on our local geography. She will also teach us about larger efforts to politicise the landscape and reclaiming a common land for the community.

This event is part of the public programme for Into the Woods, exhibiting at Art Exchange until 5 July 2025. 

Free admission and all welcome! Meet at Art Exchange at 1pm.
