Forests at the Edge: (Soft) Edgelands

Event Information

Soft Edges is the third and final walk in the Forests at the Edge series and we are venturing to Horsenden Hill, a special place encapsulating London’s multi-textured ecology.

As we travel from the Perivale Community Hive to the viewpoint of Horsenden Hill we’ll discuss, disrupt and fuzzy-the-edges of the words and concepts we usually associate with nature-in-the-city.

As we skirt the edges of parks, playgrounds, canals, city farms, industrial parks, veteran and ancient woodland - how do places like this redefine the ‘urban’?

Becky Lyon

Becky Lyon is an English-Jamaican artist working at the intersection of art, ecology and community. She’s interested in how art practice can help us re-body back into the animate, vibrant, tangly messwork of our ecology and is interested in ecology as a sourcebook for co-flourishing in times of ruin. Her work manifests in multiple forms from tactile installations to rituals, sensory artefacts and word-foolery. She is Founder Grounder of Ground Provisions - an artist-led, schooled-by-the-forest for grown ups hosting participatory gatherings, walks, sensory seminars and reading groups for a range of audiences. She has an MA Art & Science from Central Saint Martins and an MA Art & Ecology from Goldsmiths University and is a volunteer London National Park City Ranger.
