Tilted Women Festival: Walking Workshop with Poppy Jackson
Connecting the Tilted Women Festival (Norwich Arts Centre) and the Being Woman exhibition (Mandell’s Gallery), this workshop with Poppy Jackson is a collective act of “matriarchal space-making.”
Participants will walk together from NAC to Elm Hill, reclaiming public space through shared, embodied movement. By fostering a temporary “autonomous zone,” the group will explore how visibility and solidarity can reshape the city. This urban ritual centers on sensory safety and creative power, turning a simple walk into a feminist political practice.
Being Woman is a collaborative project that explores what it means to be 'woman' at various points in our lives and practices. Annette Rolston, co-founder of the Being Woman collective
