Whose South Downs? Creative and critical explorations of Sussex landscapes and seascapes with Writing Our Legacy

Discover the many heritages in local landscapes with artists, writers, countryside walkers and advocates from Writing Our Legacy, an arts and heritage organisation that enables Black, Asian and ethnically diverse people of colour to tell their stories through writing and the creative arts.

We will hear from esteemed speakers including Alinah Azadeh, Amy Zamarripa Solis, Sense Turner, Pauline Rutter and the event will include readings, singing, discussion and a short screening from We Hear You Now, an immersive soundwalk between Seaford and Eastbourne via the Seven Sisters and Cuckmere Haven.

Optional follow-on creative campus walk 16:00-17:00

Participants will then enjoy the opportunity to go on a short creative walk, make and talk, on the campus’ boundary.

Refreshments provided! This is an in-person event only.
