Women Walking, the City, at Night is an international performance in the form of collective night walks, initiated and curated by artist Eléonore Ozanne. The project began in Seville, Spain, in September 2021 during the night of the Harvest Moon. Since then, it has grown into a global action, with women walking together in different cities and countries on the same full moon night.
Each walk begins by gathering at a specific point in the city, and, to allow for a true drift, we follow the path of the full moon — challenging urban logics and reimagining how we inhabit the night.
This year marks the second international edition of the project, taking place on the night of 6 to 7 October 2025.
To share our experiences, feelings and perspectives across time and geographies, we invite you to this online gathering on 14 October.
The event is open to all — whether you joined a walk this years or are simply curious to know more.
It will be a space to reflect together on what happened that night and to explore what it means to walk, as women, under a shared moonlight.
Eleonore returns to a Walking Arts and Local Communities café to reflect on this year’s action. The event will only be recorded to capture a transcription, neither the video nor the transcription will be made public.
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.
