Rambles With Nature Kit
PRE-ORDERED PACKS WILL BE DELIVERED FROM MONDAY 17, AND THROUGHOUT THE FESTIVAL

2. Walk about casually or for pleasure.
3. Follow an irregularly winding course of motion or growth.
4. Speak or write at length and with many digressions
Since 2013 artist Sheila Ghelani has been making Rambles with Nature, a body of work that explores the hedgerow from a range of perspectives and angles, encompassing a variety of art-forms and collaborators.
Eight years on, at the invitation of Norfolk & Norwich Festival, Sheila has translated the project into a Kit – drawing together some of the tips and tools that she has used over the years, with instructions – so that you too might undertake a Ramble with Nature, at your own leisure and on your own terms…
Each kit (only 100 have been made!) comes carefully presented in a pouch and contains a letter from Sheila, some rambling rules, a notebook and pencil, and 6 tools designed to encourage attentive looking, listening and reflection on nature – including a pocket Claude Glass (aka black mirror).
Sheila is an artist of Indian/English mixed heritage, whose solo and collaborative performances, social art works, installations, texts and videos seek to illuminate and make visible the connections between race, ecology, science, history and the present day
