Urban ‘Mindful’ Photo walks
First in a potential ongoing series of experiential nature-reconnection photo “walkshops”.
The Bretton walk shop was devised for local residents to help capture and create a visual sense of place in a seemingly familiar urban environment. Using the photographic ‘process’, various mindfulness techniques and by exploring the surrounding green areas that are sometimes overlooked on everyday ‘A-B ‘ journeys, participants are invited to deepen their observations by exploring feeling and experiencing, rather than simply seeing.
Bretton originally built in the 1970′s as a Township and designed as a green environment is connected to Peterborough’s Green Wheel and offers lots of green space.
Commissioned by artist and urban researcher Katy Hawkins at Peterborough Presents and finished with tea and coffee in the pub!
