The Feminist Art of Walking in Whitechapel, with Morag Rose

Join author Morag Rose for a walk with her book The Feminist Art of Walking.

The Feminist Art of Walking:
– celebrates women who transform the everyday act of walking into powerful works of art and activism

– Shares stories from twenty years of wanders with The LRM (Loiterers Resistance Movement)
– Argues for the importance of public space and more accessible, equitable streets

This Feminism is intersectional and walking is inclusive of all bodies. The walk will be on pavements around Whitechapel with frequent stops to share stories. If you have any specific access needs please get in touch so we can plan our route accordingly

The walk will last around two hours and we will finish at Whitechapel Gallery with time and space for more conversations if you wish.

The Feminist Art of Walking was published by Pluto in October 2025. You can find out more information here: https://www.plutobooks.com/product/the-feminist-art-of-walking/

This event is part of Backyard Biennial.

Morag Rose

Morag Rose is a walking artist-activist-academic and creative mischief maker. In 2006 she founded psychogeographical collective The LRM (Loiterers Resistance Movement). On the first Sunday of every month The LRM facilitate a free, communal, wander somewhere in Greater Manchester. They have played games of CCTV Bingo, made giant cake maps, saved a towpath from being diverted into a hotel lobby and created performance tours on subjects including canal monsters, hostile architecture, drunkenness and public toilets. Morag is also a Senior Lecturer in Human Geography at The University of Liverpool, and her first book The Feminist Art of Walking was published by Pluto in 2025
