Front Porch Thursday: River Walk

September 26 @ 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm

Free

Meet us on the front porch of the Kennedy Museum of Art. We will begin our walk with a brief conversation in the exhibition what makes a river? Participants will then enjoy a ten-minute walk down to the Hocking River along the Ridges footpath. Together, we will consider the relationships between people and the watersheds they live within, including our own responsibility to the Hocking and to other beings who live along the 102-mile-long river as it flows down to the Ohio river. We will also discuss the 1968-71 rechannelization of the Hocking as it pertains to the present. Participants are invited into a session of careful observation and to consider their impact on the watershed closest to home. Led by Aubrey jo Blue, Curatorial Graduate Assistant, KMA. Please note this program requires walking up and down a gravel footpath on the grounds of The Ridges.
