Place-making and the rivers of Lewisham

As we follow the river from Lower Sydenham to Catford Bridge, in Lewisham, South East London, we invite you to think about how these places were made and how people continue to feed into shaping the river and the spaces through which it flows. We’ll be hearing from those who look after it, those who move through it and play in it. To walk with us on the route of the walk, start at the entrance to the Waterlink Way on Southend Lane. We will walk from here to Catford Bridge. From: maps.app.goo.gl/uESVrh6h2YoMsUCQ8 to: maps.app.goo.gl/bQHWhJQgdV9G8iDq8 Otherwise, listen wherever you are!

Walking as Artistic Practice

The webpage "Walking as Art and Cultural Practice" by Ellen Mueller explores the interdisciplinary study of walking from artistic, cultural, and geographic perspectives. It presents walking not just as a mode of locomotion but as a creative and performative act that intersects with spatiality, identity, and environment. The site compiles scholarly resources, theoretical frameworks, and case studies that link walking to concepts such as psychogeography, map-making, and embodied experience, highlighting its role in both contemporary art practices and historical cultural rituals. Additionally, the page situates walking within broader discussions about place-making, social interaction, and urban exploration, addressing how walking can serve as a method for engaging critically with social and spatial structures. The content includes examples of artists and practitioners who use walking as a medium, emphasizing its capacity to challenge conventional boundaries of artistic production and spatial awareness. This resource is designed to support research and teaching by providing curated references and conceptual tools related to walking as an artistic and cultural phenomenon.
