Going Beyond the Physical

Join artist Genevieve Rudd on a walk/wheel around NWT Sweet Briar Marshes to explore different ways to sense the landscape through creative practices. Genevieve will be using a power chair and welcomes the varied ways people might mobilise in the environment along the accessible paths.

Genevieve Rudd is a community artist and Wild Beach Leader of 13+ years, facilitating creative nature-connection programmes. In 2021, she founded Under Open Sky no-for-profit coastal community engagement organisation. Since 2023, GR has been disabled with Acquired Brain Injury which affects her mobility, vision, sensory perception, and cognition.

Before you attend the workshop, you will be sent a document with useful information and if you are under 18 you will be sent a parental consent and personal risk assessment form, which we will need you to fill out and return to us in readiness for the session.

The event is suitable for ages 16-25.

Norfolk Wildlife Trust

Norfolk Wildlife Trust is the oldest Wildlife Trust in the country. The purchase of 400 acres of marsh at Cley on the north Norfolk coast in 1926 to be held ‘in perpetuity as a bird breeding sanctuary’ provided a blueprint for nature conservation which has now been replicated across the UK. Our vision for Norfolk: where the future of wildlife is protected and enhanced through sympathetic management and people are connected with and inspired by Norfolk’s wildlife and wild spaces.
