Do you like to travel on foot? Grand Tour is a 250km walk with poets, dancers, storytellers, visual artists and musicians. 21 days across beautiful landscape and hidden places in Catalonia, it is a shared celebration and this year, you can be part of it. Learn from previous Grand Tourists what such an adventure entails: Pau Catà, a researcher studying cabinets of curiosities, artist residencies and artists communities, Zoe Balasch, a dancer, Tamsin Grainger sound walk composer, and Anna Piatou a photo-performer. Come and share with us what we are planning for Grand Tour 2024 in August. The trip will start in the Pyrenees and end in Barcelona, where travellers will enter the city by a most unexpected place.
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.
We acknowledge the support of the EU Creative Europe Cooperation grant program in the framework of the European project WALC (Walking Arts and Local Community).
