Information

Join the Coat of Hopes on the final day of their five day walk from Glasgow to Edinburgh, followed by an evening screening of Ben Wigley’s documentary film, Of Walking on Thin Ice. This is a chance to meet with, and walk with, the Coat of Hopes, and to explore the expanded possibilities of a social practice where activism meets art and cinema.

This is an event in two halves – feel free to join both or one of these events:

  1. a walk from South Queensferry to Edinburgh (9am-5pm) – starting the walk outside Priory Church, Hopetoun Rd, South Queensferry, EH30 9RB.
  2. a film screening and post-screening discussion at St Mary’s Episcopal Cathedral, Palmerston Place, Edinburgh, EH12 5AW (7-9pm).
