Wild City by Alec Finlay

In collaboration with The Walking Library (Dee Heddon & Misha Myers), and poets Gerry Loose and Ken Cockburn, with artist Kate McAllan and photographer Mhairi Law, Finlay has created a generous and innovative mapping project focusing on rewilding the city of Glasgow.  Featuring photographic and written documentation of a program of participative walks, public readings and workshops exploring encounters with wild nature in the greeny howe, reflecting on ecopoetics, rewilding in an urban context, the politics of green spaces and commons, and imaginative pathways to adapt to and reverse climate breakdown.
