Walking artist Amelia Daiz is inviting visitors and the local community to get creative with her series of walks, activities, and workshops.

Our fifth artist-in-residence, Daiz uses walking to inspire creative activities such as print-making, sculpture, film, drawing, and poetry, with the aim of boosting mental health and building a sense of community.

Along with running Meanderers, a small organisation dedicated to walking, creativity, and wellbeing, Daiz explores important issues through her practice, such as accessibility, rights to public space, and the environment.

During her residency, Amelia will be based in the studio on the top floor of the National Civil War Centre, which is open Tuesday to Saturday, from 10:00am to 4:00pm. You will find her there most Tuesdays, but you can stop by any time during opening hours to check out her work, as well as enjoy the independent creative activities she is providing for visitors.

Amelia will also be running walks, workshops, and activities across the district. Taking inspiration from local history, she will collect stories from participants to create new folklore, as well as experimenting with alternative forms of map-making.
