Some snaps of today’s tour of ‘Magic and Mayhem’ in Bristol, organised by Helen Fulton as part of the Being Human Festival. We heard some intriguing stories about life in fifteenth century Bristol and there was indeed evidence of mayhem 👀 #twitterstorians
Just had a fantastic day with likeminded people in #CreativeWriting at Poetry Vs Colonialism .
It has been quite a long time since I last penned something creatively.
Voila! There we are, and just like that I start to admire it once again. ❤️
A big thank you to everyone who helped with the organisation, attended or contributed to our Being Human Festival sess titled: 'Exploring Histories of Labour: inclusive heritage + collaboration'. I really enjoyed it!! #CentringTheSourceOfTheStream 🌊

Probably our most rewarding #PASCymru event this year. Amazing footfall, and brilliant crafting of artefacts found on the PAS database - 'forged' in clay and plotted on our map of Wales.

A huge thank you to all our poets, speakers and attendees of Writing the Water for Being Human Festival today. We’ve shared creative writing, heard about River Dôn Project and listened to a curator talk about the communities bordering the canal. Humanities research in action :)
Some pics from our Being Human Festival creative guided tour of the exhibition. Creative responses to sleep produced at this workshop will feed into the exhibition. You can help the exhibition grow too! Visit writingsleep.com/reimagining-sl…
Really enjoyed this ‘Writing on the Water’ poetry workshop as part of Being Human Festival ❤️ Lovely people and a bit of creative inspiration from Sheffield and Tinsley Canal!
Really enjoyed this afternoon's Being Human Festival event around River Dôn Project with Sheffield Hallam University Amy Carter Gordon - taking time to reflect and understand what canals and rivers mean to us was a great way to spend an afternoon.
So many lovely visitors to Starbank Park today finding out about the Alice Thornton's Books project for the Being Human Festival crafts, walks, talks, tea and cake.
