Join CoolTan Arts Largactyl Shuffle, a free guided cultural walk starting in Southwark, promoting mental health and physical wellbeing, using art, humour and history and de-stigmatising mental distress.
This walk focuses on William Blake, an English poet, painter, and printmaker (1757 – 1827). Largely unrecognized during his lifetime, Blake is now considered a seminal figure in the history of both the poetry and visual arts of the Romantic Age. During the walk, we will explore themes of Poetry, Art, The City of London, Blake’s influence on artists, Religion, Politics, Revolutionaries, Abolition, Riots and Mental Health, not to mention Non-Conformism!
Come along and add to the discussion and exploration of Blake, share your thoughts and ideas, enjoy the company of others and have fun.
All are welcome!
The walk is suitable for people with a disabilities and wheel chair users. Our friendly CoolTan guides will be there to help you. Please bring a packed lunch and drinks, wear suitable clothes and sensible footwear.
All contributions are much appreciated www.justgiving.com/cooltanarts
