‘Wordsworth and Basho: Walking Poets’ is a group exhibition based in the Wordsworth Trust, in Grasmere, UK. The exhibition builds on momentum developed through previous collaborations between the Wordsworth Trust, the University of Sunderland and Bath Spa University, in which a range of contemporary artists created fresh and challenging perspectives on Wordsworth’s poetry and Basho's work.

Dr Manny Ling collaborated with the Japanese sumi painter Christine Flint Sato and produced a series of work that explored East Asian and western contexts.

Dr Manny Ling also designed and curated the exhibition catalogue (ISBN: 978-1-906832-20-9)
