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.
