Don’t expect sight-seeing, heritage highlights or gift shop exoduses. This guided workshop will break down the action of seeing, fine-tuning our visual literacy and instilling participants with an understanding of what it means to be an active citizen, observer, visitor and explorer.

Ben is the director of Birmingham’s Still Walking Festival, an annual programme of guided tours and walking events which supports new guided walks as a means of exploring the city, beyond the usual heritage-focused tourist experiences.

Recommended: Bring suitable shoes for walking.
