Members of the public are being invited to join a mission to find John Kirk, Livingstone’s botanist, and meet African storytellers along the way sharing tales of useful plants, wild drugs, food and magic.
Find out what has happened in the places Kirk explored 150 years ago and discover whether the things he predicted in his letters and diaries, from the end of slavery to fair trade, really happened. Can looking back help us see the future?
