What is this? A slow, slug-themed walk around a small easily accessible part of the botanical garden. We will explore the artist Abi Palmer’s work Slugs: A Manifesto and bring copies of the book for everyone. We'll look at the evidence all around us of slow, queer and non-abled experiences of life. Both of the group’s facilitators are disabled and neurodivergent so we will draw on our own lived experience as well as research into the queer, disabled nature of slugs.
