Walking with Water Tour

Join Artist Kylie Stevens and Historian Margaret Cook on a guided tour of Ipswich's flood history.

As part of their exhibition Flood Lines, Kylie Stevens and Margaret Cook will lead people on a guided walk and talk about the flood history of Ipswich. The walk will unfold along the Flood Line, an ephemeral public artwork created by Kylie, that marks the path of the flood onto the public lands around Ipswich CBD with landscaping chalk. Flood stories will be shared during the walk by Margaret and the participants. 

Participants will meet in the Ipswich Art Gallery foyer. 

What to wear: It will not be a challenging walk, but please wear comfortable walking shoes.

What to bring: Participants may want to bring water.

This program is an artist-run event, associated with Ipswich Art Gallery.
