Walking writing, sound, photography and archives
Video recording of the fifth in our series of conversations On Pilgrimage.
Every road a pilgrim travels is pre-loaded with stories, and each pilgrim’s journey is a story in itself. In this episode of the On Pilgrimage series we are investigating stories, and the media through which they are told.
Working alongside the World Trails Network (WTN), a community of trail management and tourism providers, that include many traditional pilgrimage routes and trails that now accommodate secular pilgrims, we are running a series of online events to discuss the roles walking art plays in pilgrimage and vice versa.
Hosted by Annemarie Lopez and Andrew Stuck, from walk · listen · create, we bring you panels of thought leaders, trail professionals and walking artists to discuss key themes.
We have invited three experts to share their knowledge and experience in revealing stories along the Pilgrim’s road. Walking artist and photographer Alexandra Huddleston (US) who over five years walked thousands of miles on pilgrimage in Spain, France, and Japan, documenting many through photographs – journeys that led to her current walking art practice. Peter Nasmyth author of Georgia: In the Mountains of Poetry, will step up to talk about stories from pilgrimages in Georgia. Ridha Dhib (FR) a long distance performance artist walking new pilgrimage routes across Europe. Annemarie Lopez will help with French to English translation.
