About Cal Flyn and Lisa Woollett: What We Leave Behind

Listed Under Online Events / Books Events / Talks and Lectures Events

From Inchkeith in the Firth of Forth to the Exclusion Zone at Chernobyl, from the factories of Detroit to a forgotten garden in the mountains of Tanzania, Cal Flyn’s Islands of Abandonment explores the places from which human beings have turned and walked away.

Lisa Woollett is drawn to the abandoned, too, but it is the objects we discard that she seeks out in her new book, Rag and Bone. Beach-combing and mudlarking, she documents what others have thrown away, and in doing so, reveals much about our history and culture.

Consider what we might learn from the things we leave behind as these authors chat with festival Guest Curator Malachy Tallack.
