In this episode, artist Rob St John introduces the year-long community work in and around Bowland which has shaped the Are You Lost? project. He describes how the film, sound and textile installation pieces have been created with local people, alongside artists Kate O'Farrell and Jules Evans.
We then hear the sound work itself, featuring the voices of three local people who attended workshops – Nita Burrows, William Michael Neary and Zainab Maria – narrating texts about the multiple meanings of access in Bowland, assembled from words written in public workshops, field trips, scientific research and historical archives. The narrators reflect on how access to Bowland’s landscapes orbits around openness, imagination and transparency.
