🎥 The Beach of Dreams documentary is now live.

Created by filmmaker Fotis Begklis and two years in the making, the film traces Beach of Dreams’ journey around the UK coastline in 2025, capturing the stories, landscapes, artworks and communities that shaped this ambitious national project.

We were delighted to celebrate the film’s premiere at the RSA in London alongside Julie Brook's Tide Line films and Telling & Retelling Dungeness, directed by Sophie Austin. The evening concluded with a Q&A between Fotis, Sophie and Ali Pretty, expertly chaired by Nour Saleh FRSA, exploring the power of walking, creativity and connection to place.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, and to our brilliant filmmakers, partners, artists and collaborators who helped bring these stories to life.

→ Writer and gardener Rachel Morgan , based in Southend-on-Sea, brings poetry, planting and reflection together in our Natural Dye Garden, creating space to slow down, write and reconnect outdoors.

From 3–7 April, artists and storytellers walked the Lycian Way in Turkey – carrying silks in solidarity with communities along the Lebanon Mountain Trail Association (LMTA) جمعية درب الجبل اللبناني.

Across landscapes and borders, we return to five questions first asked by Bertrand Russell and revisited by Rutger Bregman:

Who are we?
Where did we come from?
Where are we going?
How should we live?
What is sacred?

The path is made by walking.

Great to join Colours of Redbridge for Rediscover Redbridge – showcasing our 3-metre silk fans and community-created pennants at Redbridge Library as part of a vibrant celebration of local creativity.

Alongside pennants made by eleven incredible community groups, our mobile silk fans were brought to life once again by and . Developed through a series of hands-on community workshops, these works used silk-painting and wax-resist techniques to create a design inspired by the natural world.

It’s special to see Colours of Redbridge’s journey continue – with these artworks returning to a shared public space and connecting back to the communities who made them.
