Join artist Sara Trillo for an artist walk, where we will follow her in the continuation of her Walking the Deer Line project and seek out the remains of the Cursus Cerve, an ancient boundary line across Thanet, said in legend to have been created by a saint’s pet deer.

Along the guided-walk, Sara will discuss archaeological and historical sites and tell stories about these. In the spirit of a pilgrimage, participants will receive a ceramic token to mark their participation. 

Note: please dress for slippy surfaces, mud and slight inclines. 

If you’re unable to attend after booking – we ask that you cancel your ticket via Eventbrite and free up a space for another participant. If this event is fully booked and you would like to be placed on a waiting list, or if you have any other queries, please contact george@openschooleast.org  

Sara Trillo is a visual artist based in East Kent, with a studio in Margate. She was born in Ramsgate and has spent much of her life in Kent, developing a large archive of research about the history and mythologies of her native county. She studied Fine Art at Norwich University of the Arts and in 2017 became an Associate of Open School East in Margate. She has exhibited widely in the UK and northern Europe, as well as undertaking funded residencies in diverse locations including France, Germany, Cyprus and Turkey.

Sara explores landscapes through research, walking, and making, seeking to uncover hidden histories of the human presence within our shared ecological environment. Much of her recent work has been focussed on the Kent Downs landscape, with a particular interest in dene holes, deep shafts dug into chalk, of uncertain age and purpose.

OSE Public Programme 2025

Open School East is excited to announce a new series of public events as part of its ongoing programming cycle, Home Is Where The Garden Is. Through participatory workshops, artist talks, and listening sessions, the programme will explore the networks, systems and communities that form civic space; an entwined mesh of shared social and political space shaped by material and social interventions and interrelations. The programme draws from local and national histories, speculative experimentation, and the social-ecological systems that shape our lived environments.

We’re also excited to announce our continued partnership with Turner Contemporary, who are generously hosting part of the public programme.
