This Projects Page shares ways you can get involved with Are You Lost? between now and September 2025. For an introduction to the whole project of Are You Lost? check out our Newspage.
The Programme
The first phase of the project came to a close in December with Manchester-based rapper, OneDa, who led a series of creative writing workshops with young people in Pendle and Burnley over the winter. This led to a spoken word piece called CONNECTIONS (with visuals) which you can find here. Learn more about OneDa and how she has been involved in the project here.
Podcasts
The Are You Lost? podcast series kicked off in autumn 2024, hosted by Bowland artist and writer Rob St. John. Two episodes are now available, the first is an introduction to the project, and the second featuring a conversation with OneDa. Find the first few episdoes on Spotify here, and stay tuned for more monthly episodes about art, nature, community and countryside access with a variety of guests.
