ALL BLOG POSTS – Tamsin Grainger

The URL leads to the blog section of Tamsin Grainger’s website, which features a collection of posts centered around walking art and cultural geography. The blog documents various projects, reflections, and research relating to walking as an artistic practice and its intersections with place, memory, and identity. Entries include explorations of specific walks, exhibitions, collaborations, and theoretical discussions that engage with landscape and cultural narratives through the act of walking.

Throughout the posts, the content is rich with detailed observations about environments and communities encountered during walking projects, alongside photographic documentation and maps. The blog serves as an archive of Grainger’s ongoing inquiry into how walking creates embodied connections to geography and how it can act as a method for cultural storytelling and artistic expression. This provides insight into the ways walking practices contribute to understanding spatial histories and contemporary cultural dynamics.

The Memorial Walks

The Memorial Walks is a record of a unique project, in which artist Simon Pope invited a series of writers to memorise a scene from a landscape painting, which they would then be asked to recall while out walking in the open country.

My Synthetic Thoughts

A journey through one's mind, where thoughts and memories flow in and out randomly and subconsciously. It is analogous to experiences I have during long walks, which, in turn, have given rise to some of the ideas brought to life in this composition.

Known as “The cry of Ipiranga”, the exclamation, by Dom Pedro I, was the moment Brazil became independent, in 1822, 200 years ago. To mark the historic moment, going back and forward in time, I’ll take a circular walk through São Paulo.
