On Thursday 11th December 2014  participants from the Art of Straying / Teaching Fellowship project put on an event to share their experiences with the rest of the department.

Event documentation by Luke Robson.

At the beginning of the academic year The Art of Straying project kicked off with a series of Urban Rambles. Students signed up to a mystery tour of the city centre, designed to stimulate discussion and help to view the city through fresh eyes.

Each session started with a walking meditation. When we talked about how the pre Christmas event in the XL gallery should start the students were keen to repeat that experience of walking and thinking about walking together.

This can be quite an intense and emotional experience, it can also free up your mind and take you to a calm tranquil place…
