Migrating Voices, a polyphonic, immersive, connected device. (work in progress)
Migrating Voices, a polyphonic work, questions walking and migration
intrinsically linked to human history, the codes of hospitality and the
mutation of our relational modes in the digital age.
Migrating Voices implements a living artistic process, built on meetings
and collective actions.
A harvest of sounds, images, and stories, to be presented during the
Prespa Encounters as artistic outcome alternating two phases:
1) A contemplative phase called ”Listening to the world” :
An immersive video projection about border crossing
2) A phase of actions for a contributing public called “Fusion” which set
up musical interactions with artists present in Prespa.
An interactive installation by Gigacircus art collective in the conext of the EU project WALC.

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.
