The excellent people at SOUNDkitchen have created another immersive journey of audio encounters, this time exploring the green spaces of the B37 postcode in Solihull. This self-directed walk can be undertaken at any time using the SOUNDwalker app.
“Discover the hidden sounds of bats and underwater life, listen to wind and rain on metal structures, learn to identify different trees and forage for food guided by local people passionate about wildlife.”

New Walkspace member Daniella Turbin has set herself the ambitious target of walking every square of the UK Ordnance Survey Maps. This sixty second animation documents her journey along the course of the River Severn and comprises sixty hand-drawn frames created from photographs taken on a 35mm film camera.
“The River Severn runs right the way from North to South Worcestershire, joining the village of Upper Arley with the town of Tewkesbury. As a walking artist I decided to take this journey by foot and create a video in response to this journey.”
This film was a commission for Severn Arts as part of the It Gets Lighter From Here campaign.
New Walkspace member Laura Babb is running a socially distant and Covid safe mindfulness walk this March 16th.
Join Laura and The Clear Space on March 16th for this socially distant and Covid safe mindful exploration!
We’ll use a combination of mindfulness and photography to really slow down and explore the environment. Our initial zoom workshop will involve a guided mindfulness session, and you’ll also receive a brief, along with some mindfulness and mindful photography exercises to follow on your One Hour / One Mile self-guided mindfulness photo walk.
You’ll carry out your walk using mindfulness and mindful photography techniques to engage with your environment and document your exploration.
You don’t need any experience of mindfulness or photography to take part, and the only equipment you’ll need is a camera phone or a disposable camera.
There will be an optional debrief via Zoom on the 30th March at 7pm, where we’ll talk about our experiences and share our findings.
