After her wedding to the river Avon in Bristol in June 2023, Meg has now been on four pilgrmages up and down her beloved’s banks, from source to mouth. She has toured with the documentary film Rave on for the Avon (Guardian, 4 stars) throughout the UK and won a scholarship to the Earth Law Centre where she learnt about the Rights for Nature movement – the fastest growing legal movement in the world.
She is gathering information from lawers, politicians, scientists and academics as she travels and channels them into her writing and other artistic endevours such as Avona – Bristol’s giant river-spirit puppet.
She swims in the Avon regularly and is aware of the risks, she wants others to be aware too, and to understand the power of the autonomy in their decision making.
Enabling Active Citizenship since 2019
Curated and hosted by PRSC, School of Activism events are designed to be empowering experiences equipping people with the tools to challenge the status quo, contest power structures and ultimately to change the world.
We learn by doing.
We make our own future.
