-
- Society & Culture
On a clear, warm Summer’s day in 2021, Alinah takes a walk from Birling Gap with writer and artist Josephine Hall up onto the Seven Sisters cliffs to ask about her creative work, her relationship to the sea and to edges, ancestors and migration. They speak of writing, walking, activism and the restorative power of the coastal Downs through these intense times of change. Josephine also shares her poetry, and her book recommendations are listed below.
Josephine Hall is a writer and artist, living in a brown body. She grew up in rural West Cornwall and is currently based in Brighton. Her creative work explores themes such as identity, nature, adventure and healing and her sense of belonging is constantly shifting and redefining.
