Sheffield Hallam University Media Arts Walking Research Group
The SHU media arts walking research group began in 2014. We are academic staff from film and media production and photography who meet approximately once a month to walk through both rural and urban environments, as well as occasional residential trips. Each of us makes work in response to the experience of walking.
