Walkeology and the Wunderkammer of Place (remote)
The project addresses the conference theme question: what questions does the ground you walk on raise? Here, walking is seen as an archaeological process transcribed into a Wunderkammer of roaming arte/ecofacts, a hoard of perambulatory acquisition, a strolling epistemology. These are walks of collecting found objects and an installation that articulates the embodied culture of
WOOLGATHERING: walking the water’s edge (remote)
The walking bodymind is a dancing body. As in dance, prolonged repetitive movement can hold the body in a transitional state at the edge of consciousness, in a hypnagogic-like state of lucid questioning, insights, and enhanced creativity. The walking bodymind is a falling forward body, a rolling body, a transitioning body, a questioning body, a

Remote walking – walking with prompts
The pandemic challenged walking artists to engage with new forms and new media for their practice. Group walking was translated into online walking, allowing people around the globe to walk together. Prompts or “walking scores” facilitated pandemic walkers to explore within the limits of their walking spaces, often in surprising and new ways, individually or with other remote walkers. Online technologies permitted to listen into remote spaces, beyond physical reach in the pandemic.

In the walkshop we will attempt to explore whether walking practice can reconstruct memorization and public mourning policies, beyond the regulatory archiving of state collective memory, and how we can focus on the “other memorials” that interrupt hegemonic cultures in relation to memorization policies and practices.

The Land of Invisible Presences
The animals are walking creatures. In a Walking Encounters/Conference, the walking processes of the animals, the, often, invisible companions of human walkers should be considered. The animals are invisible because they try to avoid the encounter with human beings. What remains from their presence is the footprints they leave on the soil: the animal traces.

The rhythm of the streets
Walking lays the rhythm of the streets, archives the voice and the memory of the city. Our feet are an instrument, and they read the sonic composition of urban space.

Port | Limáni
PORT | Limáni sets out to practice, and test, a set of experimental walking methodologies within peripheral spaces in Edinburgh and within the Prespa region. Edinburgh (UK) based artists, Deirdre Macleod and Stephanie Whitelaw will each conduct separately, a set of repeated walks through peripheral areas in Portobello Edinburgh with which they are relatively unfamiliar and which have a liminal quality to them, by virtue of becoming derelict, experiencing land use change or being, in some way, ‘unregulated’ spaces which experience a range of human and animal uses.
Walking into Dancing
Every walk, even the one from bed to stove, is a complete journey, a narrative filled with a dizzying variety of events, locations, people, creatures, most of which we overlook.

Walking in the Anthropocene – Planetary Walking
Walking arts today became a response to the deep environmental global crisis we are facing today. Walking is one of the keys to contextualize and deepen our understanding and relation with the planet place we live on. It is more and more clear that the future will be ecological or there will not be a future for our species.
Walking our planet is the opportunity to explore this question.

Pedagogies of walking
Walking, next to a creative process and an artistic form can be a base for pedagogy. A pedagogy that is lived, contextual, personal, creative, integral and embodied. Walking can develop pedagogical methods that may be applied to diverse groups. The paradigms that are presented show the emancipatory potential of walking and its educational possibilities.

Walking arts and walking stories
In East and West, for centuries, painters, poets, dancers were walking in the landscape (natural and urban) and finding sources of reference or inspiration.
Walking stories are carried in memory and remain existing for as long as there is a body to carry them. Walking is not characterized by one solid approach; it can be drifting, wandering, strolling, aimless, or purposeful. Each one of these practices suggests a body that remembers and they are introducing different approaches of storytelling.

Walking as a Question, crossing walking, writing and listening
Some years ago Kristine Samson und Sanne Krogh Grogh proposed the Audio Paper bringing together audio, performance and text in a new and hybrid format.

A Secular Pilgrim: Discussing the Efficacy of Pain and Suffering in Endurance Walking.
This Audio Paper was mainly recorded on the North Pilgrim’s Way in North Wales, and The Two Saints Way between Cheshire and Lichfield in England.

Walking and listening; the case of audio performance walks
This proposed paper focuses on audio performance walks – a rather recent strand in site-specific theatre which mobilizes spectators off their complacent theatre seats, and casts them, instead, as active walkers-listeners of co-created theatrical space. Guided by way of spoken narrative, headphone/earphone audiences walk along a predetermined route (in)directly linked with the audio material they
Remote togetherness – reflections on Prespes and walking in situ
This work builds on a number of themes explored in the paper presented at Prespes in 2019. This paper brings together memories of walking on the land at Prespes with the impact of COVID-19 on mobility. As part of this performative paper, I explore issues related to territory, contested ground, deep listening, more-than-human and ancestral
Embodied presence, sonority and movement
This paper suggests a methodology for walking workshops regarding the boundaries of the body with the place where it stands, moves and walks. The key question is how through walking and embodied presence human knows and interacts with the world in a sensorial way. Considering that the body is always integrated into the perceptual flow
Political Soundwalks: listening to the political protests in Minsk, Belarus
When the protests against the rigged presidential elections started in August 2020, ‘soundwalk’ felt an appropriate concept to use while making field recordings at the streets. That’s how ‘Political Soundwalks’ was created – an archive of field recordings I made at demonstrations, rallies, DIY concerts, poetry readings, theater performances, guided historical tours and other forms
To commemorate, to remember, to imagine. Research notes on walking as a methodology in Québec
Commemorative walk, Memorial walk, Jane’s walk. These are all forms of walking that lead to the act of remembering. The idea of such a walk is to be able to discover a place in situ, and to grasp, in the effort of imagination summoned by the narrative, the events that took place in the past.
Performing memory in familiar places
Everytime I visit Prespes and just before reaching the lakes, I stop at my grand-parents’ villages at Pisoderi and Antartiko. Since my childhood I have visited Prespes several times with my parents and my grandparents for various reasons that included elections, visiting family and day-trips from Florina. Visiting the area of Prespes always brings up

Gnowing me, Knowing You: Questions raised by walking the labyrinth in the maze
‘What is my intention?’ This is one of the example questions Helen Curry suggests to walkers before they begin to walk a labyrinth (2000, p. 56). Additional questions posed range from the walker’s perception of safety (p. 86) to observing lines crossed in consciousness (p. 81). The meandering, linear path of the labyrinth is one

How can experiences found in ordinary moments of sauntering fuel artistic activity?

Soundwalk: “Aquí habita un río” (A river lives here)
Have you ever talked to a river? Bodies of water carry knowledge about who we are and how we related to the human and non-human. Panama City has a strong bond with bodies of water through the Panama Canal and its eight urban rivers, but how is that relationship? This multisensorial soundwalk followed one of
Where am I? A dislocated soundwalk
Where are we when we walk? Are we here, in this place that our feet move through, or are we there, lost in thoughts and memories of other times and places? This playful and dream-like soundwalk aims to throw these questions into confusion. It can be taken while in Prespa or anywhere else, including indoors.
