Dartmoor is our Moor
This January, a historic decision was enacted to outlaw wild camping on Dartmoor, the last remaining space in England where you could wild camp legally. This decision triggered numerous protests around Devon, as campers and hikers asserted their right to access and enjoy the wild landscape of the moors.
Underpinned by the book ‘Protest: The Aesthetics of Resistance’ and a selection of essays from ‘Radical Landscapes: Art, Identity and Activism,’ this project blends the visual culture of Dartmoor and camping with protest aesthetics to create a series of iterative responses that reflect this burgeoning movement.
