Over two days we will bring together walkers and artists to consider the many perceptions of exploration.
Deveron Arts has brought together mountaineers, artists and other disciplines to explore the human, cultural and environmental heritage of the ancient drovers routes in the remote areas between the Aberdeenshire farmland and the Cairngorm Mountains, commonly known as the Hielan’ Ways.
The Symposium will mark the end of the project, which saw artist Simone Kenyon collaborate with celebrated fiddle player Paul Anderson, poet Alec Finlay, Aberdeenshire artist Gill Russell and historian Ron Brander.
