White Pages
A 5.5-hour walk along Prespa's receding shoreline, tracing a route that would have avoided post-civil war surveillance checkpoints. White stones became "White Pages"—transforming resistance into reflection.
Water, Earth, and Peace: Coming home to where we come from
Walking in transitional, interstitial spaces where Water and Earth meet is special. From walking-with and sensing the presence of rock and water bodies, on the banks of Lake Prespa (Greece) or the River Maas (Holland), it emerges to feel Water as home and relational peace quality, which inspires humans to create. To co-create and find forms for joint walking, artistic work, and ecosomatic practice, as ways of storytelling with Earth & Water.
Babylon Revisited
Participants, each speaking only their mother tongue, engaged in a walk and discussion without a shared language or set topic, creating a dynamic, horizontal process of interaction. The experience emphasized expression over comprehension, producing a multilingual soundscape. Some other themes explored included communication beyond understanding, identity, isolation, reflection and connection, disorientation, and the power of being present and included.
Conjuring the Threshold
A 10-minute ritual of repair responding to a denied pedestrian crossing at the Greek-Turkish border. The performance transforms an administrative wound into a poetic threshold through a physical "suture" and a bilingual GPS soundscape.

Presented at WAC 25, I AM A HUMAN SEISMOGRAPH encouraged Walkshop participants to develop their own codes and systems to generate walking drawings that document and celebrate sensorial attentiveness and presence in the world.
