Alyson Agar, Senior Lecturer in Design History, presents Embodied Connections Conversation Series, a programme of walking and moving conversations in photography across local nature spaces in Hartlepool involving women and gender non-conforming artists and photographers. Responding to the notion of embodied nature-based photographic practice (the creation or generation of photographic imagery of the natural landscape from the natural landscape), participants engage in walking/moving conversations through the natural landscape of Hartlepool, exploring plant-based photographic image-making (anthotypes) in collaboration with other photographic mediums as a method to share stories and good practice around climate awareness. This collaborative approach aims to share stories and promote best practices in climate awareness.
