Circling back
I spotted the feature image in our weekend newspaper colour supplement. It’s from an ad for a pair of Cartier rings- it’s great to see Walking Art getting a double page spread!
What immediately came to mind was "A Line made by Walking" by Richard Long, but also Roelant Meijer more recent piece, 'Walking in Circles'. Yet Jenny Staff's fabulous piece 'Invisible to Visible' that was performed at Prespas in 2023 is equally pertinent. As it happens, the announcement call for the 2025 Prespas Encounter (30 June-6 July) will take place shortly - so get your thinking caps on.
Earlier this week, much attention was focused on Philadelphia, not for JJ Tiziou's regular walk around the city's fringes, nor on Ann de Forest, our host for this coming week's Walking America -writers in conversation event, who happens to be a resident there, and who has previously joined JJ circling back around her home town. She invites us to a conversation with two North American poets, neither of whom currently live in the States. Cole Swensen and Lisa Robertson are widely acknowledged, award-winning writers and great interpreters of landscape, walking and writing whereever they tread. We do hope you’ll join them this Wednesday.
My on-screen life is currently peppered by reminders that it is Black Friday at the end of the month, so I was delighted to read about an initiative taken by The American Volkssport Association (AVA), more often called America's Walking Club that encourages people to get out and about outdoors. They have a campaign called #OptOutside, in which they encourage people to take a walk on Black Friday.
Keep walking and smiling!
