The Desire Lines film launches at Keswick Museum this week, alongside an exhibition of costumes and props from the project - the culmination of a yearlong programme of activity in partnership with National Trust at Crow Park.
Join us at the Keswick Alhambra for the World Premiere of ‘Desire Lines’ - a short film made on Crow Park in Keswick. The film is the result of an art project engaging with local communities and exploring connections humans have with the natural world, hosted by the National Trust.
Join Rebecca Beinart and Wallace Heim for a series of creative writing workshops to explore Crow Park from multiple points of view. This workshop will take you from writing about characteristics of the landscape, relations with other entities (such as weather or other living beings) through to connections with the future; and distil those ideas into a ‘Crow’. The Crow is an invented form of writing that references conjuring and spells as a way of paying attention.

We will meet for an introductory workshop via Zoom, where we will talk through the project and share a 'menu' of actions to be carried out on site – from very subtle invitations to notice your environment, to more visible actions.
