Islands as Stepping Stones

Comments

A WALC NODE café co-hosted by walk · listen · create and Anna Viola Hallberg and Janice Jensen, co-curators of WAP26.

Artist featured included: Silvina Sisterna (ARG/IE), Felice Hapetzeder (SE), Jurate Girdvainis (DE), Zoey Heart (US), Tricia Ennis (CA), DB Lampman (US), and Heather Kapplow (US)

Taking place as a key component of the WAP nomadic artistic residency, join us for a cafe discussion with artists live from the Stockholm archipelago.

WAP (Walking as Practice) is an annual Walking Artist Residency bringing together international walking artists. In previous years themes covered include:

  • WAP25 Walking As Passion – Embodied Thinking (North)
  • WAP24 –Spaces of Anticipation (North)
  • WAP23 – Attentive Walking (North)

This year it was nomadic, as artists walked across the Stockholm Archipelago. WAP26 frames walking towards political aesthetics, incorporating approaches of entanglement, proximity and co-becoming. Walking as Social Imagination as a way of being with the landscape, nature and each other’s practices.


Walking Arts & Local Communities (WALC) is an artistic cooperation project, co-funded by the European Union, Creative Europe, starting in January 2024 for four years. With seven partners from five countries, WALC establishes an International Center for Artistic Research and Practice of Walking Arts, in Prespa, Greece, at the border with Albania and North Macedonia, backed up by an online counterpart in the format of a digital platform for walking arts.

WALC builds on the previous work of hundreds of artists and researchers already practicing Walking Arts as a collaborative medium, and having met at the significant previous walking arts events and encounters in Greece, Portugal, Spain, France, Belgium, and during online activities at walk · listen · create.

desire path

A term mostly used by town planners or architects to describe the short-cut paths created by people. So a path around a square ‘green’ will often have a desire path cutting off the corners. Town planners recognise them as an admission that the initial path was put in the wrong place. Called ‘Elephant Paths’ in some countries.
