Last Tuesday Cafés are an on-line forum that enables the Walking the Land network of artists to meet, exchange and discuss ideas about individual and shared creative activity. We gather in the evening of the last Tuesday of alternate months hosting artist conversations and updating each other on progress from projects and core activities, sharing new ideas, areas of interest and co-ordinating network activities and events.
These evenings offer an ideal opportunity to find out more about how to get involved with Walking the Land and connect with other walking artists. Cafés begin at 7.30 pm London time.
To receive invitations to Last Tuesday Cafés as well as First Friday Walks and all other events please subscribe to our newsletter. Email wtl@walkingtheland.org.uk or contact us

Kristina Rothstein is a writer and artist living in Vancouver, BC, Canada. She makes zines, maps and handbound books and audio guides, among other things. She lived in the UK for several years, and each year spends several months around Herefordshire, Shropshire, Somerset and Powys; walking, recording audio, making work, and gathering material. www.smartcookiepublishing.wordpress.com
Marlene Creates has used memory map drawings in her work since 1986 — maps drawn both by her and by others for her. Memory maps can be seen as examples of alternative mapping, also called participatory mapping, community mapping, inclusive mapping, open mapping, counter-mapping, de-mapping, re-mapping, green mapping, deep mapping, and possibly even radical mapping. Every map tells a story, and alternative maps tell alternative stories. www.marlenecreates.ca
