Don’t walk behind me; I may not lead.
Don’t walk in front of me; I may not follow.
Just walk beside me and be my friend.
Albert Camus
Tim Brennan is based in Sunderland and worked with us during 2009.
During the 2009 Slow Down festival a number of opportunities arose to develop walks that would consider our cultural and natural history. Brennan’s practice revolves around art and politics. This has surfaced in part as a methodology based on the guided walk and conversation as art (the manoeuvre), which exists between traditions of performance art, loco-description, history and as a mode of radical travel-writing.
