News Round Up – June 2021

Walking Publics/Walking Arts is a COVID-19 Rapid Response project funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council exploring the potential of the arts to sustain, encourage and more equitably support walking during and recovering from a pandemic.

We are keen to find out how people have experienced walking during COVID-19 and how artists have used walking in their creative practice.
