As part of the Creative Places Ballaghaderreen programme, the local community is invited to join Anna King in tracing a series of ‘Placeways’ during four free contemplative walks, starting on Wednesday next (March 6th).
As participants navigate their way with Anna through the landscape, they will be encouraged to observe and describe various elements of their surroundings through their senses: such as plants, natural features, waterways, shapes, shadows, and structures.
Each walk starts at a unique cardinal direction (North, East, South and West) and participants will trace their way to the Ballaghaderreen Community Garden. All walking routes end in the local Community Garden.
Each walk is approximately 90 minutes in duration.
Walks begin on Wednesday, (location not yet revealed) at 11.30am in an Easterly direction.
This initiative is supported by the Arts Council of Ireland and Roscommon County Council.
