Alec Finlay and the Walking Library are excited to announce they have been selected to present 'Wild City' for Glasgow 2018.

wild city: walking from the willow haugh to the wolf’s pool

This generous project conceived for Glasgow 2018 is a collaboration between artist Alec Finlay, The Walking Library (Dee Heddon and Misha Myers), and poet Ken Cockburn. Alec Finlay will encourage place-awareness through place-names, translations and community maps, and create a new publication. The Walking Library walks will survey wild nature in the city and collect suggestions for a new ‘Walking Library’ which will be given a permanent home in Glasgow. And Ken Cockburn’s workshops with young people will explore their sense of place and experiences of wildness. Wild City's ambitious program of participative walks, public readings, and workshops, will culminate in a book and blog mapping new walks through rewilded streets.

Supported by Festival 2018
